Teachers in Scotland have been left out of pocket - potentially to the extent of tens of millions of pounds - after being overtaxed on back pay in the wake of the pay dispute that ended in early March 2023, says @EISUnion

[EIS @EISUnion]

Scotland’s teachers have collectively been left out of pocket by potentially tens of millions of pounds, as the result of an ongoing impasse between 16 Scottish local authorities and His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) over the implications of the 2022-23 pay settlement to Scotland’s teachers. #EISNews
