This.

Clearly this is entirely doable in the event that the vote goes the way of the yes campaign.

EDIT:

An interesting comment on the Guardian page.

"Complexity upon complexity - but no examination of how international tax arrangements are managed elsewhere in Europe and globally. Only in Scotland, it seems, are the problems insurmountable and the consequences horrific.
This article is simply more mudslinging from the Better Together media - ineffectual, trite propaganda.
No surprises there."
