Scottish Budget 2024 RECAP as SNP Government confirms it will lift two-child cap

The Scottish Government faces tough spending decisions to fix struggling public services despite an increase in funding from Westminster.
The Scottish Budget for 2024, presented by Deputy First Minister Shona Robison, has sparked significant controversy and debate. Key points include a new 45p income tax band for those earning between £75,000 and £125,140, and an increase in the top rate to 48p. This budget has been criticized by opposition parties, with Scottish Labour's Michael Marra calling it a "disaster" and accusing the SNP of mismanagement. The budget also includes a council tax freeze, which has been met with mixed reactions; while some see it as beneficial for households, others, including local authorities, argue it will lead to cuts in services. Additionally, there are concerns over funding for public services, with warnings of potential cuts to housing, education, and other sectors. The budget's approach to business rates, maintaining the freeze for smaller businesses but not extending it to larger ones, has also drawn criticism. The overall sentiment reflects a budget under strain, with political parties and stakeholders expressing worry over its implications for Scotland's economic and social landscape.
