PRIVATE jets and mansions will now be taxed in Scotland as the SNP’s new budget promises a “fairer” nation and tax reductions for low earners.

MSPs will vote on proposals made by Finance Minister Shona Robison today which include a new council tax tier for homes worth over £1 million by 2028 and a levy on private courier flights.

The SNP’s budget also promises to push more people into the lower tax band by announcing an increase by 7.4 per cent on basic and intermediate income brackets.

Every primary and special school will have a breakfast club by next year under this Budget, she added, laying out further plans to reduce the financial burden on families.

This includes an increase to the Scottish Child Payment which will be increased to £40 per week for families with a child under one year old.

She also announced that colleges will receive an increase of £70m in funding this year, and the rise in spending on the NHS will mean a decrease NHS waiting times.

The government outlined a £36m allocation for the creation of high-street walk-in clinics in a bid to end the “8am rush” for GP appointments.

An additional £200m will also be spent on the A9 by 2035 as she said her government was committed to “dualling key sections” of the A96.

Closing her speech, Ms Robison said: “This is a Budget for a stronger NHS, a Budget for a more prosperous Scotland, a Budget that, once again, gives the people of Scotland the best cost-of-living deal anywhere in the UK.”

But Scottish Labour MSP Michael Marra says the budget does not deliver “real change” and accused the SNP of “trying to fix a few of their own mistakes.”
