The Scottish Independence Convention

IN the seventh paper in the Scottish Independence Convention Transition series, “Europe is our Oyster: Scotland’s Accession to Efta, EEA and/or the EU”, Peter Sellar, a private practice lawyer who advises on European (EU) law, recounts that he often hears people living in Scotland saying: “I would vote for independence if I knew we’d get back into the EU”.

IN a follow-up to his paper on a Scottish Banking System (SIC Transition Paper No. 4), finance expert Peter Ryan presents a clear roadmap for the introduction of a Scottish currency.

IN the fifth SIC Transition Paper – Tax Policy For An Independent Scotland – political economist, chartered accountant and tax specialist Richard Murphy describes the steps Scotland will need to take during the independence transition period and after in order to set up a strong and fair tax system.
