Amending the visitor levy in Scotland

The Visitor Levy (Scotland) Act 2024 grants Scottish councils the power to raise funds for tourist services and facilities by applying a charge on overnight stays, based on a percentage of accommodation costs.

New proposals will give councils the choice of setting a fixed amount instead, while the legislation will also clarify how levies are applied to sales via third parties, and the information accommodation providers must share with councils.
