Government tax plans suffer setback
The Scottish Government has suffered a setback in its plans to introduce a local income tax.
MSPs backed Tory calls for any future Bill to allow MSPs to consider a range of options for replacing the council tax.
These include a land value tax, a local income tax with variable rates, reforming the council tax, as well as the government's own plans for a centrally set local income tax.
