Humza Yousaf’s global focus makes him a failing SNP leader and even worse First Minister "Yousaf should be sticking to Scotland’s domestic agenda – not pursuing personal family agendas or strutting the world stage” I argue in my latest @TheScotsman column bit.ly/48x2cG9

In the mad, mad world of Scottish tax policy one of the maddest ideas has now emerged - a tax on campervans This is driven by the current attempts of the SNP Government to tax & over-regulate B&Bs & other forms of short-term accommodation. One daft tax leads to another Thread:
Post-Brexit shift in immigration may mean higher wages and more self-sufficient UK economy | Larry Elliott theguardian.com/business/2023/…
Reminder: Leaving the EU saw the UK reduce trade barriers overall with the world, not increase them. The UK ranking for trade freedom increased on its departure. Reality and facts. Just one of the many many Brexit benefits we have seen since leaving.
According to the Thalos Foundation, the UK since leaving the EU now has less trade barriers around the world than it did as a member, and as such has increased its ranking to 4th for how free it's trade is. #UKTrade tradebarrierindex.org/about#foreword
"Rachel Reeves says Labour will do “whatever it takes” for Britain to attract investment. This attitude should underlie Labour tax policy but without more detail there’s a credibility gap. We are always being told to “mind the gap”… Now’s the time for Labour to close it."
"The UK has the third highest combined taxes on corporate income in Europe. Just putting us at the European average would attract more investment." Europe is outcompeting us at the moment.
"As ambitions to float, Reeves could suggest making full expensing for corporation tax permanent and go on to reverse the Conservative increases to Corporation Tax – while cutting CGT back to Blair/Brown levels and introduce a zero rate for long-term gains."
"Thirdly, that taxes on the use of capital that slow the economy down and work against investment will be lowered. Time and again, both in the UK and abroad, when CGT and Stamp Duties are cut economic activity rises and the revenues more than make up for the imagined cost."
"Secondly, a priority will be given in the first years of government to encouraging business dynamism, growing the economy so that receipts rise, allowing public services to be improved and personal taxes to be lowered." Low taxes will encourage economic expansion.
These 3 main policy threads are: "Firstly, to announce it will become law that all personal taxes threshold will in future automatically be indexed to inflation so taxes are fully transparent and subject to honest rather than deceitful dealing."
Great @TheScotsman piece by Brian Monteith on the need for a Labour tax policy. "The best way for Reeves to show her [low tax] statements are not just underhand attempts to gain votes is to set out a coherent tax policy," says @TheBluetrot. He sets out 3 things Labour should do
Labour should outflank the Conservatives by lowering business and capital taxes – Labour doesn’t want to repeat its 1992 experience by throwing away an expected win. Here’s how it can prove it favours economic growth, my weekly @TheScotsman column: bit.ly/3Ep2SQA
