This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fourth Annual Report marks significant milestones in the implementation of the Scotland Act 2012. Since the publication of last year's report, we have seen the successful commencement of the Land and Buildings Transaction Tax and Scottish Landfill Tax - the first new Scottish taxes in over 300 years. The Scottish Rate of Income Tax will take effect in April 2016, with the Deputy First Minister having announced in December that he intends to retain the same level of income tax as the rest of the UK for 2016/17. The implementation of the Scotland Act 2012 is of course just one element of the transfer of new powers to Scotland which has taken place in the past year. The Scotland Bill, introduced to Parliament on 28 May 2015, fulfils the Government's manifesto commitment to implement in full the all-party Smith Commission Agreement. It also brings a better balance to Scotland's devolution settlement and strengthens the Union as a result.

This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part 3 of the Scotland Act 2012 deals exclusively with the devolution of financial powers. These include: the creation of a new Scottish rate of income tax; the disapplication of UK stamp duty land tax in Scotland and provision for the introduction of a new Scottish tax on land transactions; the disapplication of UK landfill tax in Scotland and provision for the introduction of a new Scottish tax on disposals to landfill; provision for borrowing by Scottish Ministers; and the power to devolve further existing taxes and create new devolved taxes. The financial provisions represent a substantial body of work and it is recognised that their implementation must be carefully managed over a period of time. The financial provisions will be implemented over a number of years, to ensure that appropriate transitional arrangements are put in place. In order that both the UK and Scottish Parliaments are fully informed through this process, section 33 of the Scotland Act 2012 requires the Secretary of State for Scotland and Scottish Ministers to report annually on the implementation of this part of the Act. This is the first of these annual reports and concludes that the implementation of Part 3 of the Scotland Act 2012 is progressing effectively and efficiently

Download or read book Essays in Conveyancing and Property Law in Honour of Professor Robert Rennie written by Frankie McCarthy and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Robert Rennie has been one of the most influential voices in Scots private law over the past thirty years. Highly respected as both an academic and a practitioner, his contribution to the development of property law and practice has been substantial and unique. This volume celebrates his retirement from the Chair of Conveyancing at the University of Glasgow in 2014 with a selection of essays written by his peers and colleagues from the judiciary, academia and legal practice. Each chapter covers a topic of particular interest to Professor Rennie during his career, from the historical development of property law rules through to the latest developments in conveyancing practice and the evolution of the rules of professional negligence. Although primarily Scottish in focus, the contributions will have much of interest to lawyers in any jurisdiction struggling with similar practical problems, particularly those with similar legal roots including the Netherlands and South Africa. As a whole, the collection is highly recommended to students, practitioners and academics.

Download or read book Scotland Analysis written by Great Britain: Scotland Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UK Government is undertaking a major cross-government programme of analysis prior to the referendum on Scottish independence in 2014. The aim is to provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis of Scotland's place in the UK. This paper, the first of a series to be published in 2013 and 2014, examines the UK's constitutional set-up and the legal implications of independence. The UK Government is convinced that the current devolution offers the best for Scotland: the Scottish Parliament and Government are empowered to take decisions on a range of domestic policy areas - such as health, education, policing - while Scotland continues to benefit from decisions made for the UK as a whole - defence and security, foreign representation, economic affairs. Independence is very different to devolution. Based on independent expert opinion (published as Annex A), the paper concludes that if there were to be a vote in favour of leaving the UK, Scotland would become an entirely new state whilst the remainder of the UK would continue as before, retaining the rights and obligations of the UK as it currently stands. Any separation would have to be negotiated between both governments. Legal and practical implications of independence, both at home and abroad, are addressed. An independent Scotland would have to apply to and/or negotiate to become a member of whichever international organisations it wished to join, including the EU and NATO. Scotland would also have to work through its positions on thousands of international treaties to which the UK is currently party.
