Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether its Tax Advisory Group is tasked with considering whether new taxes on households or businesses should be introduced.
Answer
The Tax Advisory Group has been set up to look across a broad spectrum of views to ensure we continue to offer a fair and progressive but sustainable system. Tax policy for 2024-25 will be set out at the Budget later this year.
The group will be a long-term feature of how we engage on tax, and I will chair a quarterly meeting of the group. The minutes of their meetings will be posted on the Scottish Government website.
