  • ‘(1) The Scottish Government and the Government of the United Kingdom must enter into an agreement (the “Economic Agreement”)—
  • (a) setting out a plan for implementation of full fiscal autonomy for Scotland,
  • (b) establishing a framework within which the two Governments are to coordinate their economic and fiscal policies in the context of full fiscal autonomy for Scotland.
  • (2) Full fiscal autonomy for Scotland means that—
  • (a) the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government have competence for determining revenues raised in or as regards Scotland through taxation and borrowing,
  • (b) the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government have competence for determining levels of public expenditure in or as regards Scotland,
