The model used is that of the Institute for Fiscal Studies from their study entitled ' Fiscal Sustainability of an Independent Scotland '. Until 2021/22, the projected spending of Scotland is lower than the UK's. From this time to 2062/63 though, spending as a percentage of national income for Scotland is predicted to increase by ** points - *** percent higher than the UK.
