SNP&’s Local Income Tax Plans Mean 3p Tax Rise on Every Pound For Renfrewshire Residents

Wendy Alexander is warning Renfrewshire residents that the first 100 days of an SNP-led government will see tax rises and turmoil across Scotland.

The Paisley North MSP was responding to the publication of Alex Salmond’s plans for his first 100 days of government.

She said the document detailed clearly that the SNP would prioritise breaking up Britain over improving education – and at a cost of at least £5000 more for every family in Scotland each year.

Ms Alexander said:“The SNP have made it clear that they believe breaking up Britain is more important than making Scotland’s education system the best in the world.

“The costs of their plans for the first 100 days of government runs into billions and will mean every local family having to cough up at least £5000 more every year. Their first 100 days will mean nothing but tax and turmoil for hard-working families.

“Local communities deserve a government that will look after their interests and focus on building up Scotland, not breaking up Britain. I urge Renfrewshire residents to reject the SNP’s plans on 3rd May.”
