HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) published analysis of intra-UK migration and labour market participation in April 2024 and subsequently updated its analysis of intra-UK migration in 2026. These analyses use HMRC administrative data to examine movements of taxpayers and taxable income between Scotland, Wales and the rest of the UK over time, and they provide information on movements in the Scottish and wider UK tax base associated with intra-UK migration.
