Scottish news publishers face immediate crisis as Holyrood ends coronavirus support

© Kim Cessford Scotland risks being the only European country not to offer a coronavirus support package for its independent news publishers. Finance Secretary Kate Forbes has confirmed non-domestic rates relief for publishing businesses will come to an end on March 31. Newspaper operators had been subject to rate relief as part of the Coronavirus (Scotland) (No.2) Act 2020, which came into effect in May last year. The Scottish Government did not support the introduction of rates relief, and said it would not do so in the current budget unless opposition parties made doing so a stipulation of it passing through parliament. Additional commitment to advertising spending by the Scottish Government has not been forthcoming.
