Public Consultation Now Open – Visitor Levy
In May 2024, the Scottish Parliament passed the Visitor Levy (Scotland) Act. This Act gives local authorities the ability to charge a set percentage on overnight accommodation paid by visitors.
In February 2025, Perth & Kinross Council agreed to start a period of public consultation to understand whether and how a Visitor Levy should be implemented in the Council’s area.
This Consultation is now live, and PKC invites you to take part and give your views. You can complete the consultation online via their Consultation Hub. If you would prefer a paper copy to complete please call 01738 476476 to request one.
The results of this early stage engagement will help shape whether a Visitor Levy is introduced, who would be subject to the levy, and what the money raised would be spent on. Any resulting ‘scheme’ will be put to Perth and Kinross Council in December 2025 for a decision on whether to introduce the levy.
