Independent Scotland....

[Kerrse]

What I was saying is there is lots of English people working in Scotland you start segregating who pays what taxes Scottish and English you might see a flow of English leaving Scotland or staying, but paying English taxes i.e converting the money supply from Scotland back to Pounds if new monies where to be used!
then we need to see how much flows out of a new soverign Scotland vs what they get as a collective English tax system?
 

There is probably more Scots working & living in England but to be fair but I can't see Scotland ever becoming fully independant anyway so the whole discussion is irelevant.

I would say though if it happened that if you work in a country you pay tax in that country no matter where you are from so your point doesn't really work

What I think Jay is getting at is the Polish phenomenon..do do dododo..do do do do!..

i.e. yes they pay tax, but they send all their money back to Poland where it is spent.

Bit of a sweeping statement about Polish people as i know quite a few who spend their money here but yes i understand what you mean

That depends upon the amount of tax being charged so quite relevant it affects money supply and treasury boxes "M0" plus what about NON PAYE's

Right whats the point......right?

Involuntary taxes should be abolished altogether.

DC has came out today to plead Scotland to stay. I am personally disappointed that he won't come up and canvas.

Alot of mixed messages here?

Is this still up for discussion?

You got to ask yourself why is he pleading for Scotland to stay if Scotland is such a money drainer as a lot of English people i know seem to think.

Your right. Ive got to a stage now where I have stopped heavily debating about this because I don't think a concenious will ever be reached.

What I will say, if he wants Scotland to stay, he will need to do more than talk from the olympic park. Labour were wiped out in the last election for a good reason in Scotland and it will be difficult to halt the SNP train.

We still have 6 months or so, so we will see what he brings out the bag.

Edit...just to add. SNP will be removing the bedroom tax it we do get the vote, personally, I think this is a tac the SNP are using which isnt right but I am confident will get the snp a % of vote.

It's pretty obvious what this is all about..

The real farce in all this is the voting rules!

Only people living in Scotland can vote.
So all the Scots living down here because they cant get any work up there cannot vote.
But any Foreigner that is currently living in Scotland can vote!
