        Actually it does seem to me to be fairer than a tax on housing. Tax income, tax purchases, but don't tax anything else.

          This might be stupid idea (for those who earn more than average), but I have to say Scottish party that rules there now made a number of correct (in my view) decisions like abolishing parking fees at NHS hospitals, no tool bridges and other things.

            I wonder how they propose to introduce this "local income tax".

            If you live in Scotland and work in another country (Uk or otherwise) will the tax be collected, if so how and how much?

            If you live elsewhere and work in Scotland will the tax be levied?

            Doesn't this mean that they will have to set up a new tax collecting agency with all of the costs involved?

              The power to do this was present from the start of the Scottish Parliament - we've had to build it into payroll systems for years - that said, the practicalities will be interesting, to say the least. State and Federal income taxes in the USA are a nightmare of complexity.

                A good plan B will be to open a cheap booze shed just south of the border to cater for the coach loads of 18 - 20's barred from buying their Tennents Super in Jockland.

                  You could still buy the booze in supermarkets just no in the offie...

                  I think the ideas so far are all good, serving the people rather than business.

                    First Minister Alex Salmond also outlined plans to ban under-21s from buying alcohol from off-licences
                    The preliminary steps, perhaps, to Scotland joining the US?
