"I don`t see that there`s much the Scottish Government can do, at a macro level, to increase the nbmeur of jobs available in Scotland. They lack the requisite powers. They can only fiddle round the edges.To give one example, the UK govt. imposes a payroll tax (employer`s NI) which acts as a disincentive to firms who want to employ more people. Speaking as an employer, we would be able to employ more people without decreasing profitability were payroll taxes scrapped. In my opinion, this is the single biggest thing the UK Govt. could do to increase employment, and the tax shortfall would be partially offset by the increased income tax take (because more people would be employed). The SG, of course, can`t do this or take any of the other classic steps a government might take to increase employment at a time like this. We`re on the bus, but we`re just a passenger. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is the driver.This is why we need to control our own finances ASAP. Does the London Government care about unemployment in Scotland? Not really.CC"

"I used to work in recruitment a few years back, and emeryopls tax and NI was a wonderful disincentive for clients when it came to negotiating contractors (I had to make my profit!).But would NI be scrapped under independence? Personally, I prefer the simple approach and have a blanket tax where possible to reduce business costs etc.The high levels of public sector employees in Scotland are difficult to overcome. Getting control of corporation tax is a good idea in principle, but will it help?I do agree however that the SG needs to have more control of the finances, rather than relying on Westminster."
