SCOTLAND – TAX CONSULTATION FORUM CONSIDERS MANAGEMENT OPTIONS
14 June 2013
John Swinney, The Cabinet Secretary for Finance, Employment and Sustainable Growth, today chaired the second meeting of the Tax Consultation Forum (TCF) at St Andrews House. The Forum looked at the outcomes of the Tax Management consultation which will inform the Tax Management Bill (TMB) due to be introduced later this year. The Tax Management Bill will establish Revenue Scotland and put in place a framework for the administration of devolved taxes in Scotland. The Forum considered the principles of a fair and effective Scottish tax system while focusing on three topics:
1. The outcomes of the Tax Management consultation
2. ‘Tackling Tax Avoidance’
3. ‘Hardship and Discretion’
The TCF was established in February 2013 to provide a forum for civic Scotland to discuss and advise Ministers of the strategic and social implications of administering tax in Scotland
