Scottish Fiscal Commission

From April 2017 the Scottish Fiscal Commission has been a Non-Ministerial Department responsible for producing independent forecasts for Scotland. This includes forecasts of tax revenues, expenditure on social security and on-shore Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Between 2014 and 2017 the Commission operated independently but on a non-statutory basis. The Scottish Fiscal Commission is structurally and operationally independent of the Scottish Government. Commissioners are accountable to and give evidence to the Scottish Parliament as required. Further information and our publications are available from our website http://www.fiscalcommission.scot/
