Wealth Taxation for Public Services: Amendment 5

  • Submitted by: Willie Rennie, Fife North East, Scottish Liberal Democrats
  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 03 June 2026
  • Motion type: Amendment
  • Motion reference: S7M-00249.5
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Thursday, 04 June 2026

As an amendment to motion S7M-00249 in the name of Jenny Gilruth (Wealth Taxation for Public Services), leave out from “welcomes” to end and insert “notes that fair taxation must recognise the current cost of living crisis and the impact that any tax increases can have on individuals and businesses; believes that the Scottish Government must prioritise getting Scotland’s finances in order, in light of warnings by the Institute of Fiscal Studies that it faces a 'fiscal reckoning'; considers that taxpayers in Scotland deserve value for money as well as confidence that their taxes are being spent wisely, and believes that the trust that taxpayers should have in a government to spend wisely has been lost over the last 19 years of an SNP administration.”
