Help shape the Perth and Kinross approach to a Visitor Levy - August Meetings scheduled in Aberfeldy & Crieff..... 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 and tourists. Then, in February 2025 and 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.
That Consultation is now live, and we would invite you to take part and give us your views. You can complete the consultation online via our Consultation Hub. If you would prefer a paper copy to complete, you can call 01738 476476 to request one. We want to know whether we should in fact introduce a Visitor Levy, who you think the levy should apply to, where you think any funds raised could have the biggest impact, and how we should monitor the impact.
The results of this 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 & Kinross Council in December 2025 for a decision on whether to introduce the levy.
It is estimated that: *The introduction of a 1% Visitor Levy in Perth and Kinross could generate around £1.6 - £1.8m annually. *A 5% visitor levy could generate between £8.2 - £9.3m annually *A 7% levy would generate £11.5 - £13m annually
All money raised would be reinvested locally on facilities and services that are used by, or substantially for, leisure and business visitors (apart from a small amount reclaimed by the Council to cover the costs of administering the scheme). This includes infrastructure, events and culture, as well as improvements to destinations that enhance the visitor experience.
Because residents and visitors use many of the same things, the Visitor Levy has the potential to improve life for residents as well as visitors. To support the consultation we are also holding a number of drop-in engagement events where people can come along to find out more about the proposals and provide feedback: Wednesday, 20 August: The Birks Cinema Aberfeldy, 4 pm - 7 pm Thursday, 21 August: Strathearn Arts, Crieff - 4 pm to 7 pm Wednesday, 27 August: Loch Leven Community Campus, Kinross - 4 pm to 7 pm. The consultation will run until Tuesday, 30 September 2025.
Don’t miss out on the chance to help shape this important decision for Perth and Kinross.
