Scottish Budget day.

As a precursor, let us recall this from 2021:

SNP ministers have used short-lived Covid funding to pay for a raft of pre-election give-aways, storing up future problems, the UK’s top economic thinktank has warned.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said tens of millions from the Treasury were being used to fund free school meals, free bus travel, a council tax freeze and possibly above-inflation NHS pay rises.

Yep, when you use one off money to pay for ongoing costs you will soon run into, er, a £1.5bn black hole in your finances.  And throwing about surprise un-costed, un-discussed, non-agreed tax freezes will only exacerbate the situation.

THE Scottish Government is facing a funding black hole of £1.5 billion next year in what experts have described as one of the “most challenging fiscal backdrops” in devolution history.

The Fraser of Allander Institute at the University of Strathclyde has insisted Finance Secretary Shona Robison will need to find major savings when she delivers the Budget speech on Tuesday.

So, let us see what delights Shona-Nae-Money will present us with today.

Just seen it, more tax to pay but "those with the broadest shoulders" and all that.

Let’s have a game of “GUESS FFS’ TAX BRACKET”

[Dad]

Whatever one has the most arseholes 

[caledonia]

51% of scots will pay less tax but no mention of independence 

fuck the snp vote alba

[Redforever86]

To many cunts in the world, let's give folk more money to have kids. 

 

Councils are fucked. Let's freeze council tax and tax people on hard work instead of property decisions and the services they receive. 

 

100% business relief for any business on the islands, but nae for Morag's wee cafe in Wick or other remote parts. 

 

Idiots. 

[Wester Hailes Skins]

The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of other people's money.

- Margaret Thatcher 

At a time when the UK is already in a time of unprecedented high taxes AND inflation eroding our money. The SNP add taxes further to Scotland's people. To cover their own economic mismanagement of running Scotland.

We are paying more and more for less and less on crime, housing, education, health and infrastructure. 

SNP out.

Don't ask me for who. Cos I don't advocate Labour, Tories, the Greens or Lib Dems. Just not the SNP. And I've not even touched on obvious headlines they've been making.

It’s called COMMUNISM. Literally no point striving anymore in this joke of a “country”.

[caledonia]

The Budget is a great thing though to bring all the tories out though.

p.s not aimed at anyone in particular and other parties are available.

Then again you could choose to move to Wales or Northern Ireland where house prices and costs are also lower than England and still be quids in.

The average house price in england will be hugely skewed by London.

House prices probably are not too different between scotland and most of england.

The text also fails to take into account the presence of higher wages in areas of higher house prices.

Im summary, I can only assume this was put together by Shona Robison MSP?

You do know the meaning of average?

and if they are higher wages surly that means more tax

It does, but you will then pay more tax in Scotland on that higher wage.
