Show Notes
Scottish councils gain new power to charge visitors a flat fee for stays, thanks to new tourist tax legislation. The change allows councils to switch from a percentage-based system to a fixed amount, with an eighteen-month lead time for implementation. Tourism groups and officials welcome the move, citing simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and potential for community service funding. Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Stirling are among the councils planning to introduce the levy, aiming to boost local investments without deterring guests.
