Motion by Councillors A Forbes and J Duff
Motion re Visitor Levy Feb 26
Council recognises that, by the date of Full Council meeting on 29th April 2026, the
Scottish Parliament is expected to have passed the final piece of legislation
regarding the Visitor Levy. In practice, we already know what this will look like, as all
political parties have already indicated their agreement.
This is the final stage of the process and, taking into account the extensive
consultation carried out by PKC over the last few months will allow Council, to make
a decision on whether or not we implement a Visitor Levy. 
Council instructs officers to bring to Full Council meeting on 29 April 2026 :
The Outcome of the consultation process
The general principles of a Visitor Levy Scheme and an economic impact
assessment based on the information available at the time.
Any proposals and recommendations required to allow Council to make a decision.
