This statistic shows a distribution of respondents to a survey question designed to find out how those residing in Scotland think taxes would be effected if, in September 2014, Scotland voted 'yes' for independence from the United Kingdom. With a great deal of campaigning taking place on both sides of the debate, the 'no' vote usually has the most supporters in the polls. In January 2013, the most commonly anticipated result was one of increase, with the majority (56 percent) saying they thought taxes would be a lot or a little higher.
Do you think that, as a result of independence, taxes in Scotland would become higher, lower or would it make no difference?
