I know how it's done by the way, having contracted at the Scotland office when GERS was introduced, so, come on, show us your credentials. (Or are you just spouting bollox and claiming knowledge you don't have ?)
What's your point?---

Fair enough. But one tax in isolation does not make your case. Broaden your argument out to the total tax revenue "raised" in Scotland versus the total tax "spent" in Scotland.---

Originally posted by wattaj View PostAh, I see your tack: you're trying to use the fact Scotland sends more Corporation Tax to the Treasury than it receives as a share of the population as an argument in favour of independence?

You were the one who claimed that arguments against the deficit shown in the GERS figures are fantasy/unicorns/fairy dust, yet you have absolutely ZERO comprehension of what the GERS figures actually are or how they are derived.
I don't need to broaden my argument. You need to put some factual basis behind yours.
I asked AS AN EXAMPLE, rather than a representation of the whole, how are Scotland's Corporation Tax receipts, for the purposes of GERS, calculated. Do you know ?When freedom comes along, don't PISH in the water supply.....Comment

Originally posted by wattaj View PostNo, not at all. Show me your economic case* for an independent Scotland and change my mind. You won't win by name-calling.
* Please note that any such "economic case" should not have been previously thoroughly debunked.
You are a lost cause, always running down Scotland.
The job of the Yes movement is to persuade soft Noes to Yesses. It's working, as we can see with the polls. Brexit, when it actually happens, will turn it into a landslideComment

Again, what's your point? Do you actually want the mechanics? Is that how you "win"?
You really are an odd, little man.---
