SCOTTISH multi-millionaire Tom Hunter has been urged to correct his “highly misleading claim” that just 250 super-rich individuals pay 60% of all Scottish income tax.

Hunter, who is estimated to be worth around £700 million , made the “false” claim as he hit out at the Scottish Greens for proposing that the wealthiest in society should pay more in tax.
