The Scottish Socialist Party (SSP) has historically advocated for progressive taxation policies, including higher taxes on the wealthy to redistribute wealth more fairly across society. Their platform typically emphasizes reducing income inequality and funding public services through progressive taxation.

Strongly agree

No, but lower taxes for the poor

Lowering taxes for the poor aligns with the SSP's goals of reducing poverty and inequality. While their main emphasis might be on taxing the rich more, they would likely support measures that relieve financial pressure on lower-income individuals.

Agree

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

While the SSP advocates for higher taxes on the rich, their focus is more on progressive taxation rather than raising taxes across all income brackets. They might support broader tax reforms if they believe those would lead to greater social equity, but their primary target is the wealthier segments of society.

Slightly agree

Lower the income tax rate and remove all existing tax loopholes for large corporations

While the SSP would likely support the removal of tax loopholes for large corporations, they would probably oppose lowering the income tax rate for these entities. Their focus is on ensuring that corporations and the wealthy contribute more to society, not less.

Very strongly disagree

No

Very strongly disagree

Reform to a flat tax

A flat tax system, where everyone pays the same tax rate regardless of income, contradicts the SSP's advocacy for progressive taxation. They argue that the wealthy should pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes compared to lower earners.

Very strongly disagree

No, keep the current tax structure

Keeping the current tax structure would likely be against the SSP's principles, as they seek to reform the tax system to make it more progressive and equitable. They have consistently argued for changes to the tax system to address income inequality.

Very strongly disagree

Abolish the income tax, disallow all deductions and increase the sales tax

Abolishing the income tax and increasing the sales tax would be antithetical to the SSP's goals, as it would likely place a greater financial burden on the poor and middle classes, who spend a larger proportion of their income on consumption. The SSP advocates for progressive taxation, not regressive.
