British Prime Minister David Cameron has published plans on new powers for the Scottish parliament.
It comes after a meeting between Cameron and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
Scotland is to be given the power to set income tax rates and tax bands, but not to alter the threshold above which tax is paid.
It also proposes a proportion of value-added tax levied in Scotland will remain there.
The Scottish Parliament will have the power to fix its own air passenger duty.
The publication will not become law until after May's British General Election.
