Scottish Consolidated Fund

Fund operated by the Scottish Parliament

The Scottish Consolidated Fund is the main fund operated by the Scottish Parliament. It receives a block grant from the UK Parliament's Consolidated Fund[1] plus the operational receipts of the Scottish Government. The fund operates under the Scotland Act 1998.

In 2010–2011, under the Barnett formula, the UK Exchequer returned a block grant of £26.8 billion of Scottish taxpayers' money to the fund.[2]
