Fiscal Update – August 2026
The Fiscal Update contains our commentary on the Scottish Government’s latest fiscal position following the Scottish Parliamentary elections in May and the appointment of a new UK Prime Minister. We also consider how the economic context has changed since our last forecast in January and we present our first forecast of Air Departure Tax, which is being introduced in April 2027. The Update is intended to set the scene for Parliament in the run-up to the Scottish Budget later this year.
