Visitor Levy

Edinburgh councillors are a week away from potentially approving Scotland's first Visitor Levy, a scheme aimed at raising up to £50 million annually through a 5% charge in addition to the cost of overnight accommodation.

Orkney Islands Council has added a web page dedicated to the visitor levy, allowing access to key information about the legislation, the process so far and next steps. The web page also contains a number of frequently asked questions and links to related external sites.
