Ending Tax Breaks for Ministers

S2M-05803 · Standard Motion · lodged by Sheridan, Tommy

Lodged on
02 Apr 2007
Heard / answered on
Unknown
That the Parliament condemns the existence of a tax break which allows Scottish Executive and Westminster ministers to not pay tax on the provision of government cars; notes that all other taxpayers, including MSPs and MPs, have to pay substantial sums in tax, and calls for the Scottish Executive to demand that Her Majesty’s Government ends this unjustifiable tax perk.
Lodged by Sheridan, Tommy alone — no additional MSPs have signed on.
No division on record. Either the chamber agreed this motion without a vote, it was withdrawn before debate, or it predates 2011 — vote-by-vote records only run from then.

No carried amendments applied

This is a computer’s best guess at applying carried amendments to the original motion text. It uses simple text rules for phrases such as “insert at end”, “after X insert Y”, and “leave out from X to end and insert Y”. Treat it as an aid, not the official motion text.
