Very strongly agree

Yes, this will help reduce wealth inequality in the UK

The SNP has consistently advocated for policies that reduce wealth inequality in the UK. A mansion tax on properties valued over £2m would align with their goals of redistributing wealth and addressing income disparities. This is in line with their support for progressive taxation and social welfare policies.

Agree

No, but implement the tax on foreign owned property

While the SNP may not have specifically proposed a tax on foreign-owned property, they have expressed concerns about foreign investment driving up property prices in the past. They might be open to considering such a tax, but it is not a central policy proposal for them, and their primary focus would likely remain on broader wealth redistribution measures.

Strongly disagree

No

As mentioned earlier, the SNP has generally supported progressive taxation policies, which would include taxing high-value properties. Therefore, it is unlikely that they would oppose a mansion tax outright.
