"The fiscal transfers made to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (and indeed the North and Midlands and of England) are normal within a fiscal union – but would cease under independence or ‘full fiscal autonomy’. To offset the end of these fiscal transfers, some combination of tax rises or spending cuts would be needed, unless faster economic growth could be quickly delivered in an independence or full fiscal autonomy scenario" Updated projections of Scotland's fiscal position - and their implications | Institute for Fiscal Studies (ifs.org.uk)

Understanding why the GERS numbers are Factually true. 

The SNP currently OWN the GERS numbers as they have done since 2007 when they were voted into Holyrood as the Scottish Government. All the SNP's own annual changes they made to the GERS numbers since they were voted into office in 2007 can be seen here on the Scot Government Document Archive Website. [ARCHIVED CONTENT] Methodology (nrscotland.gov.uk)

The SNP themselves spent 6 years changing the GERS numbers to their own design and the SNP themselves chose in 2013 to use their own designed GERS for the basis of their own famous White Paper "Scotland's Future" and that White Paper Document itself highlights GERS as being the factual reference used by the Scottish Government to run Scotland.  https://youtu.be/GGR_M42sicg?t=115
