Calman Tax

Calman Tax refers to a set of tax reforms proposed as part of the Calman Commission, which aimed to provide more financial powers to Scotland. Introduced in response to growing demands for devolution, the reforms allowed the Scottish Parliament to vary certain taxes, like income tax, giving it greater control over its budget and fiscal policy. This change was intended to enhance accountability by linking taxation more directly to the services provided to the Scottish people, allowing Scotland to tailor its tax system to better suit local needs and priorities.
