SNP ministers have been urged to follow Jeremy Hunt's lead and hike taxes for the highest earners in Scotland.
Labour has written to John Swinney, the interim finance secretary, to call on him to lower the threshold for the top rate of tax in a bid to protect public services.
It comes after Hunt used his Autumn Statement yesterday to announce a £55 billion package of tax rises and spending cuts as he sought to protect the poorest and pensioners from the impact of rising prices and energy bills.
