Tourism Levy
In November 2018, The Scottish Government initiated a national debate about a new proposed tax on visitors to Scotland. The discussion aims to allow relevant and interested parties to share their views and evidence for and against this tax. Edinburgh City Council also conducted a consultation on its proposals for a Transient Visitor Levy (TVL) or ‘Tourist Tax’.
