Reform UK’s plans to cut taxes in Scotland if the party wins May’s election will require “difficult decisions” on services, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has said.

Reform’s Scottish leader Malcolm Offord announced on Monday that the party would realign Scotland’s income tax bands with those in the rest of the UK and institute a 1p-in-the-pound cut immediately after an election win.
