Tuesday, 5 September 2006 - Strasbourg
Taxation
Ian Hudghton (Verts/ALE
),
I abstained on all of the votes on amendments, and voted against the
report in the final vote. I did so because I strongly believe that all
powers over taxation, which are currently Member State competences, should
remain with Member States.
Specifically, I look forward to
the day when an independent Scottish government has the power over
revenue-raising through taxation, including car taxation which, in
Scotland, must take due account of the fact that car transport is
absolutely essential to residents throughout our rural areas.
