New Secretary of State for Scotland Alistair Carmichael welcomed the move, saying:
Small businesses are the engine room of our communities and the economy in Scotland. For them, a £2,000 per year tax cut will be a welcome boost, I hope. It will in fact cut the need for some 35,000 Scottish businesses to pay national insurance contributions at all.
I hope this will send a signal to the business community that we are on their side and want to see them play the fullest part in re-building our economy.

Thanks for your comment. As long as it doesn't libel anyone, and isn't abusive, I'll publish it. I try to respond to as many as I can, but please forgive me if I don't. Sometimes there are just not enough hours in the day. I read and appreciate every one, even those specifically aimed at winding me up.
