Daily RecordNATIONALISTS unveiled plans to scrap council tax and replace it with a local income tax yesterday.
MSPs will get a chance to vote on the future of the council tax next week in a debate called by the Scottish Socialists.
SSP leader Tommy Sheridan has plans for a new service tax, but is willing to talk to other parties about a replacement system.
Sheridan said: 'The most recent opinion poll showed 77per cent of Scots want the unfair council tax scrapped in favour of a system related to a person's ability to pay.
'Next Thursday's vote will be against the council tax and for an income-based alternative.
'The form of alternative can be decided in debate later. The priority is to unite against the council tax.
'I appeal to the SNP and Liberal Democrats to put aside our major differences to ensure that on this issue Scotland's pensioner and low income households win.'
