| Currently, Scotland, despite having only 8.2% of the population, contributes 9.9% of the country's total tax take but only receives 9.3% back. I don't think anybody is silly enought to think that Scotland would become a wealthy country overnight on these figures (as things are a lot more complicated than chucking around numbers) but does seem likely is that rUK would probably be worse off financially - and that's before we take into account the effect that uncertainty in the markets or issues with the £ are taken into account. |
