|December 03, 2025
The Scottish Government will introduce a new Bill to allow councils to institute a flat rate visitor levy.
-
Local authorities currently have the power to implement a so-called tourist tax on visitors to the area - but can only do so as a percentage of the cost of stays in hotels and other forms of accommodation.
Yesterday, public finance minister Ivan McKee MSP announced a Bill would be lodged in the new year to allow for a flat fee to be introduced.
