In February Scotland's finance secretary said his budget gave Scottish taxpayers the best deal in the UK as MSPs approved it.
Derek Mackay struck a deal with the Greens to get his tax and spending plans through the legislative process.
They include extra funding for the NHS, investment in affordable and energy efficient housing and cash for schools to close the attainment gap.
But the Tories said Mr Mackay had made the wrong choices, with Scotland now the highest-taxed part of the UK.
The government won the final vote by 68 to 57, with the Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems voting against.

That was part of the deal to convince the six Scottish Green MSPs to back the minority SNP administration's spending plans, along with an additional £160m going to local authorities.
There was a row over what Finance Secretary Derek Mackay's budget plans would actually mean for local government services.
Ahead of the deal with the Greens opposition parties pointed to the core council grant falling by £327m.
After the deal that becomes a fall of £167m.
Mr Mackay insists that other measures such as cash going direct to schools and health and social care partnerships and the unfreezing of the council tax means there is actually an increase in the money going towards services

Holyrood's local government committee said the budget was "very difficult to follow", noting that it was essential that parliament was clear on "exactly how much money local authorities can be expected to receive".
Cosla argued that it is "inaccurate" to offset the cut to the core grant with other ring-fenced funds, saying there was "less discretion for councils to spend on local priorities".
Their "budget reality" paper, external read: "The 2017/18 budget will result in extremely difficult local decisions being taken to manage the budget gaps being faced by all councils. This is on the back of difficult settlements in the past.
"A revenue cut of this magnitude will undoubtedly impact on local services."
