The Scottish Government will receive an additional £600 million following spending decisions announced in the UK Budget.
The money will come to Scotland through the Barnett formula as a consequence of increased spending by the UK Government in areas which are devolved.
Treasury documents confirm the Scottish Government will receive an additional £600m in Total Departmental Expenditure Limit funding as a result of decisions made in the Budget.
The figure covers the Spending Review period over four financial years, from 2026-27 to 2029-30.
The Scottish Government will largely have discretion over how the additional funding is allocated between devolved areas such as health, education, housing and transport.
The Treasury said the figure comes on top of the settlement agreed at the 2025 Spending Review and an additional £1.7 billion of funding resulting from last year’s Budget and the Spring Forecast earlier this year.
Across the devolved nations, the UK Government said its Budget decisions would generate an additional £1.3 billion through the Barnett formula.
The additional cash comes from a series of spending measures announced by the Chancellor for England.
The Budget includes further investment in social and affordable housing and measures aimed at reducing household energy costs, as well as funding associated with the UK Government’s plans to give English mayors and local authorities greater fiscal powers.
Because policy in many of those areas is devolved, Scotland receives a population-based share of relevant increases in spending rather than being required to introduce exactly the same policies.
The UK Government is introducing a £100 Household Energy Payment for millions of households in council tax bands A to D in England. Equivalent funding will be made available to the devolved governments, which will decide how it is used.
The 2025 Spending Review had already set an average Scottish Government settlement of around £50.9 billion a year, including an average £2.9bn a year in additional funding generated through the Barnett formula.
The latest £600m will now feed into the resources available to ministers at Holyrood as the Scottish Government makes its own spending decisions.
