Show Notes

Edinburgh councillors face calls to revamp visitor levy as Scottish government grants more flexibility. The new legislation allows councils to switch from a percentage-based tax to a fixed rate, offering clear costs for visitors and avoiding the burden of higher fees on pricier stays. The levy, set to launch in July 2026, could generate up to £50 million annually for cultural, heritage, and event initiatives.
