Boosting the Economy

As an amendment to motion S4M-11993 in the name of John Swinney (Boosting the Economy), leave out from "the actions" to end and insert "that the UK’s economic growth continues to be among the highest of major developed world economies; believes that measures taken by the UK Government, such as cutting employer national insurance contributions and maintaining the lowest level of corporation tax in the G7, are providing considerable benefits to Scottish businesses, and calls on the Scottish Government to reduce the burden on business by ensuring that the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax is introduced in a way that is conducive to economic growth and by extending existing rates relief schemes to ensure that Scotland is a more competitive location to do business."
