Home in on £1m owners to help kids in poverty

THE SNP has been urged to introduce a mansion tax on homes worth £1million or more.

The Scottish Greens are demanding a super tax on high-end houses.

Party MSP Ross Greer said: "A mansion tax on the biggest and most luxurious houses is one of many ways we can raise more money to support services like the NHS while only impacting the very wealthiest people."

The Greens were dumped from Government this year by Humza Yousaf after three years of tension.

But First Minister John Swinney needs another party to help his minority Government's Budget and they have emerged as likely kingmakers.

One idea for cash for public services is an overhaul of Land and Buildings Transactions Tax.
