By April, the poorest 10% of Scottish households are set to have incomes £580 per year higher than they would under the system in England and Wales.

Tax and benefit measures introduced north of the border since 2017 have reduced average household incomes by £210 . The IFS said policies introduced over the last few years, such as changes to the benefits system, have particularly increased the incomes of poorer families with children.
