摘要

Every time the Scottish National Party (snp) puts on a big heave to persuade Scots to opt for independence, it comes up against an apparently insuperable obstacle: that Scots appear to pay far less in tax than they receive in public spending. Shorn of the subsidy from south of the border, the snp's opponents are wont to say, an independent Scotland would be a poorer one. Even offshore oil has been unable to fill the gap-until now.rnEach year Scotland's devolved government tots up all public spending alongside estimates of all taxes raised and publishes a snapshot of Scottish public finances. This year's version, released on June 20th, contained two surprises. The first was a series of corrections to past editions that reduced the excess of Scottish spending over taxes by nearly a fifth. After a year poring over Treasury and departmental databases, statisticians concluded that much spending in England and Wales had been attributed to Scotland, and not enough revenue raised in Scotland (by public corporations, for example) taken into account. That reduced the fiscal gap in 2006-07 to a still-hefty ￡10.2 billion, or 9.7% of Scottish gdp.
