How is the SNP supporting rural & island Scotland?
We’re making major investments in Scotland’s rural and island infrastructure, have renewed the Community Empowerment Act, and introduced new Land Reform Legislation with a presumption in favour of community buy-outs.
What is the SNP’s position on Council Tax?
We’re committed to reforming the Council Tax to make it fairer. Scottish taxpayers are getting the best deal in the UK – with Council Tax being on average £737 a year less than in Labour-run England, and £627 a year less than in Labour-run Wales for a Band D property.
