It is for the Scottish Government to decide how to use their tax powers to support the Scottish economy.</p><p> </p><p>This Government will continue to operate a balanced approach between returning the public finances to a sustainable position while helping households and businesses, supporting our world class public services, and investing in Britain’s future. This has allowed us to cut the corporation tax to the lowest in the G20 and raise the personal allowance, saving a typical basic rate taxpayer over £1000 a year compared to 2010, and taking 1.2 million people out of income tax altogether.</p><p> </p><p>This has supported the strong economy: the deficit has been cut by three quarters from its peak and there are over 3 million more people in employment since 2010.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 17/04/2018 10:48:12 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
