The SNP's white paper sets out a vision of Independence and responsibility in the modern world. It is an inclusive, governmental document – making clear that we believe Independence and equality offers the best future for Scotland, while urging those who believe in other possibilities, such as more powers, to come into the conversation.
The SNP government have published plans to abolish the unfair Council Tax and replace it with a local income tax system based on the ability to pay. The local tax will be set at a rate of 3p on income excluding savings income. The reform will represent a major progressive change to taxation in Scotland and the biggest tax cut for Scots in a generation.
