If an English Ltd Co contractor (Ltd Co registered in England) lands a couple of years work in Scotland, commutes up there each week to work then home at the weekends. Does he/she pay English tax or Scottish tax? And if some of the stuff is done WFH, then is English and Scottish tax levied pro rata? Seems very messy and uncertain to me and a mate I am trying to help out.

Just to add, I think the Kilmarnock example makes you an English tax payer.Last edited by Fred Bloggs; 25 April 2018, 13:30.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

It looks fairly clear to me
Your main home is usually where you live and spend most of your time. It doesn’t matter whether you own it, rent it or live in it for free.
Your main home may be the home where you spend less time if that’s where:
most of your possessions are
your family lives, for example, if you’re married, in a civil partnership or a long-term relationship
you’re registered for things like your bank account, GP or car insurance
you’re a member of clubs or societiesComment

Apologies, Fred, didn't get back to this yesterday. Is it clearer now, in practice if not in theory?
It seems the Scottish Tax Rates rely on residence rather than location of work, which, as you say, is unusual viz international tax, but is ore akin to some of the principles we see in CGT around Main Residence. And that makes sense to a degree as this is a regional tax on residents rather than a tax on work / economic activity per se.
In a world in which a Chocolate Milkshake is vat free, but a Strawberry or Banana milkshake is vatable (tribunal earlier this year), alas tax seems to get more complex by the week.Comment
