Annual Summary of Trends in the Devolved Taxes 2022/23
Introduction
Revenue Scotland is responsible for the collection and management of the devolved Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) and Scottish Landfill Tax (SLfT).
This annual statistics publication summarises annual trends in the devolved taxes. It also provides more detailed data and commentary than our other more regular statistical outputs for example:
Scottish Aggregates Tax (SAT)
The third devolved tax will be Scottish Aggregates Tax which will replace the UK Aggregates Levy in Scotland. Revenue Scotland has worked closely with the Scottish Government in the development of the Bill, which was published on 15 November 2023.
We have established our implementation programme and will continue to work with the Scottish Government, partners, and wider stakeholders to ensure the safe and secure delivery of the new tax. Stakeholders can contact us via the Scottish Aggregates Tax mailbox.
Revenue Scotland update on the Scottish Aggregates Tax (SAT)
The Scottish Government has announced the introduction of the Aggregates Tax and Devolved Taxes Administration (Scotland) Bill.
Revenue Scotland has worked closely with the Scottish Government and stakeholders during the development phase of the Bill and will continue to provide advice during the passage of the Bill through Parliament.
Future work and stakeholder engagement
The Scottish Government has confirmed an intention for SAT to replace the UK Aggregates Levy in Scotland on 1 April 2026.
