Lorna Slater calls for a watertight windfall tax on fossil fuel giants by Scottish Greens

The windfall tax on oil and gas company profits must be made into a permanent and robust polluter tax to accelerate our just transition to a greener future, say the Scottish Greens.

The party has called for all loopholes and incentives to be removed from the system, which currently includes a perverse mechanism that allows oil and gas producers to get 91p in tax relief for every £1 they invest in UK operations.
