MORE than 86% of Glasgow council tax payers would have lower bills under an alternative local government funding scheme which will be discussed by MSPs when the Scottish Parliament resumes next month.
Figures produced by Holyrood officials for the Scottish Socialist Party show more than 235,000 households would pay less, while almost 38,000 would face bigger bills.
The calculations were made by the Parliament's independent Research and Information Centre for Glasgow MSP Tommy Sheridan's attempt to abolish the council tax and replace it with a Scottish Service Tax.
