The SNP want to tax profits on Irn Bru but not on oil, Ian Murray MP has claimed ahead of Commons debate on the cost of living.
Labour’s Shadow Scottish Secretary said the SNP proposals calling for a “broad-based windfall tax on the excess profits of major companies” was a half-baked plan to help hard-pressed families.
With the SNP due to hold a Commons debate on the cost of living crisis Murray said the SNP’s continued refusal to back Labour’s plan for a windfall tax on the huge profits made by North Sea oil companies would leave nationalists supporting a “tax on ginger but not on gas”.
