The SNP’s election manifesto makes a commitment to ‘Strengthening of Scotland’s tax powers with the devolution of VAT’ (page 47). However, there’s little detail of what is meant by this statement. Does it mean accessing the full amount of VAT collected in Scotland directly, or does it mean full legislative powers to introduce a Scottish VAT Act, set VAT rates, collect taxes and enforce compliance?
