MORE than half of Scots expect to pay more tax if Scotland becomes independent, a new poll has found.

The Panelbase survey also found that less than half think a currency union with the rest of the UK is the most likely outcome in the event of a Yes vote.

The poll questioned more than 1000 people between January 29 and February 7.

It found that support for independence stands at 37%, with support for the union at 49%, while the remaining 14% are undecided.
