The Scottish Government planned to bring forward legislation to replace the council tax with a local income tax LIT , as part of the funding for Scottish local authorities . ref http news.scotsman.com politics.cfm?id 1312852007 Local income tax on way as early as 2010 , The Scotsman , 19 August 2007 ref Different proposals to abolish council tax formed part of the manifesto s of the Scottish National Party and the Scottish Liberal Democrats Liberal Democrats during the Scottish Parliament general election, 2007 Scottish Parliament general election of May 2007. The SNP version involves the centralised distribution of funds raised from the new tax throughout the Scottish local authorities whereas the Liberal Democrat s proposal devolves the distribution to individual authorities. The newly reconvened Scottish Parliament narrowly backed the principle of some form of local income tax in June 2007 but left questions unanswered as to how the two proposals could be practically reconciled. Independent MSP Margo MacDonald also backs the proposal of a local income tax in principle, and her support could be important in a tight vote.
