£22 Million Tax Drop and Inside the Scottish Labour Leadership Contest
About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of Scotland's new income tax rate and the Scottish Labour leadership contest.
Why did Scotland’s new 48p top rate of income tax actually backfire and lose £22 million in revenue? On this episode of Holyrood Sources, Calum Macdonald, Geoff Aberdein, and Andy Maciver analyse the fallout from Scotland's tax policy with tax expert Dan Neidle from Tax Policy Associates. Will John Swinney reverse a major policy decision originated by his predecessors, Humza Yousaf and Nicola Sturgeon? We also discuss the Scottish Labour leadership contest following Anas Sarwar’s departure to the House of Lords. We're joined by Francesca Brennan, Inverclyde Councillor and Scottish Representative for Labour in Local and Regional Government. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
