Interesting that the P&J splashing on a complete fabrication. The SNP didn't set income tax in years in question.pic.twitter.com/ihMkir9aep

at no point has it said you set the tax, it said that they didn't receive a comparable return in funding from SNP v tax paid.
apart from in the front page headline, the page 5 headline and the article where 'SNP tax' is said repeatedly.
sorry read it online so no idea which is page 5 but can you show me where in headline the word "set" is used?
I didn't say the p&j said the SNP set the tax. The point I am making is under no interpretation is this an SNP tax.
yes, but you said that the SNP gov did not receive any off the tax raised, are you saying it's not included in Barnett?
so where does the money from the Barnett formula come from?
that is a different question. You cannot have an 'SNP tax swindle' without an SNP tax. To claim otherwise is a fabrication.
two points; 1) since you're clearly stating you didn't receive any of it then it's a very relevant question, can you answer?
No I didn't say that. I said the tax is not received the SNP or the Scottish Government. Barnett has no basis on tax raised.
so the income tax raised in Scotland is not being taken from the Barnett formula?
no tax is 'taken from the Barnett formula' - I stand by my comments that you have taken exception to. Have a good day.
are you saying when we have control over tax the Scottish tax estimate isn't to be taken from Barnett amount?
Isn't the point in income tax (as part of overall taxation) to deliver public services for all, redistribute?
