FAQ, Taxation - Does Voyant model Scottish taxation? How to set the software to model Scottish tax rates. (UK)

Question

Does AdviserGo model Scottish taxation? 

 

Answer

Yes, you can select the appropriate home nation for residence when you first set up a client.

 

Setting the country of residence when first creating the plan

As you first set up a new client case, you will be asked for basic information about the first person in the plan, who we refer to as the primary client. 

Among these details, you will be asked to set this person's Country of residence for purposes of taxation. 

The software will assume, at least initially, that the Country of residence selected for the primary client applies to the other individuals in the plan. However, the country of residence can be changed on a per person basis on the Dashboard screen, under Carryover Assumptions.
