Budget 2021/2022: supporting the COVID-19 recovery - Scotland's taxes and fiscal framework - consultation

In advance of the Scottish Budget 2021-2022, we are seeking views on the role of Scotland’s devolved taxes and Fiscal Framework in supporting the COVID-19 economic recovery.


Footnotes

1. The devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all receive a transfer, the ‘block grant’, from the UK Government that funds a substantial proportion of their spending. A system known as the Barnett funding formula calculates the annual increase or decrease in the block grant given to each country.
