No, but lower taxes for the poor

The SNP has shown support for lowering taxes for the poor and middle-income earners.

Agree

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

The SNP has shown support for closing tax loopholes and ensuring large corporations pay their fair share of taxes. In their 2019 general election manifesto, they called for the UK government to take stronger action against tax avoidance and evasion. However, they have not specifically called for lowering the income tax rate in conjunction with closing loopholes.

Yes, and raise taxes on all income brackets

Reform to a flat tax

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