ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL COUNCIL FINANCIAL SERVICES 25 FEBRUARY 2026 0BREVENUE BUDGET 2026-27 1BFEES AND CHARGES 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 This report provides Members with information in relation to fees and charges for 2026-27. 1.2 The Council raises fees and charges for a number of services it delivers, and a review of the level of fees and charges is carried out each year. 1.3 The general increase to fees and charges is proposed at 6% for 2026-27. A 6% increase was applied in years 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26 and a 3% increase each year between 2017-18 and 2022-23. 1.4 There are some exceptions to the general inflationary increase which are outlined within the report at paragraph 3.2.2. There are also charges where no inflationary increase has been applied, noted in paragraph 3.5, and charges where the rate is set by others, noted in paragraph 3.6. The total of the general inflationary increase plus the exceptions would equate to additional income of £0.440m. 1.5 Harbour Fees have been increased by 8%. This 8% increase is ring fenced to fund asset improvement and sustainability within the piers and harbours. This is estimated to generate additional income of £0.748m. No general inflationary increase has been proposed for piers and harbours dues to ensure that the service is cost neutral. 1.6 New fees and charges which are being introduced for 2026-27 are itemised in section 4.

INTRODUCTION 2.1 This report provides Members with information in relation to fees and charges for 2026-27. 3. DETAIL 3.1 The Council raises fees and charges for a number of services it delivers, and a review of the level of fees and charges is carried out each year. Appendix 1 to this report contains the full list of fees and charges for each service and the following paragraphs summarise the main changes. 3.2 General Inflationary Increase 3.2.1 The general increase to fees and charges is proposed at 6% for 2026-27. A 6% increase was applied in years 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-26 and a 3% increase each year between 2017-18 and 2022-23 3.2.2 There are a few exceptions to the standard inflationary increase, and these are noted in the table below: Description Increase Reason for Increase Funeral ceremonies 20% Right-sizing of charges as no increase carried out since introduced but relevant expenditure has risen.

3.4 Social Work Charges 3.4.1 The 2026-27 Social Work Fees and Charges schedule was presented to and endorsed by the IJB at its meeting on 28th January 2026. All Social Work fees and charges are included within the attached schedule of charges. 3.4.2 The HSCP is seeking to consult on a range of measures to manage down its budget gap which may include further increases to fees and charges for day services, transportation and telecare/responder service. Formal Council approval for these will be required at a later date after consultation and agreement to request changes by the IJB. The overall approach is to seek to increase the contribution of eligible care service users in order to protect the sustainability of services. 3.5 No Inflationary Increase 3.5.1 There are a number of fees where no inflationary increase has been applied. These are: Local Authority Residential Care Provision: Dunclutha and Shellach View – Charges are levied to other HSCPs/Councils buying places from Argyll and Bute. All licences included under Legal and Regulatory / Commercial Services and subject to the last Triennial Review agreed in May 2024 will have no increase in fees until May 2027. Homeless Temporary Accommodation – not subject to inflation, only the service charge is inflated. Electric Vehicle (EV) Overstay Penalty Charges remaining at current rounded amounts of £30 and £60. 3.6 Fees set by Others 3.6.1 There are also a number of services where the charges are advised by others and therefore, at present, have not been inflated: Registrars Fees - these are set by the Registrar General, and the last fees were set in May 2022. Removal of abandoned car – this charge is set by legislation. Petrol Storage Certificate Explosives/Fireworks License and Registration Private Water Supplies Roads Inspection charges, set by Roads Authority and Utility Committee (Scotland).

Waste Disposal with Landfill Tax – set by Scottish Government Building Warrant Fees are set by Scottish Government. In discussion with the Service the average increase for 2026-27 is estimated to be 7% which translates to a £0.077m increase on the 2025-26 budget. Income generated from Building Warrant Fees must be used to fund the service meaning related expenditure budgets will also be increased by £0.077m. 4. New Fees and Charges 4.1 The 2026-27 budget proposals include new fees and charges for the following: Description Charge Reason for New Fee Early Years Charges - non statutory provision per hour - under 2 years old £7.30 Fee in place for several years but generated little income.

Inscription for Kerbstone (price per letter) £13.00 Fee replaced with flat rate amount as noted in Section 4.1. 6 SAVINGS OPTION PROPOSALS 6.1 The 2026/27 budget proposals include savings measures relating to increased fees and charges for school meals, parking, cemeteries, and the crematorium, as well as the introduction of new charges for out-of-hours rope-handling activities for commercial vessels arriving at and departing from Campbeltown Harbour. The proposed fees are included in the appended schedule of fees and charges. 6.2 If agreed, the increases in these charges are expected to increase income by £0.140m, in addition to the £0.440m noted in section 3.2.3 in relation to the general inflationary increases in charges. 7. CONCLUSION 7.1 The general inflationary increase would equate to additional income of £0.440m in 2026-27. All other fee increases agreed as part of previous budgets have been accounted for within the base budget or as part of the previously agreed savings amount. 7.2 The 8% increase applied to fees and charges in respect of Piers & Harbours to fund the Asset Management plan would equate to an additional £0.748m. 8. IMPLICATIONS 8.1 Policy – Outlines the proposed increases to fees and charges for 2026-27. 8.2 Financial - The annual adjustment to fees and charges ensures that charges remain relevant to service costs which enables the Council to maintain proportionate income levels in order to sustain services. 8.3 Legal – None. 8.4 HR – None. 8.5 Customer Service – Minimal risk in respect of the inflationary increases. 8.6 Risk – Minimal risk. 8.7 Climate Change – None. 8.8 Fairer Scotland Duty – Relates to inflationary increases therefore minimal impact. 8.9 Equalities (Protected Characteristics) - The proposed changes apply equally to everyone who receives a service which the Council will continue to charge for. Therefore, there are no anticipated adverse equality issues arising from this report. 8.10 Consumer Duty – Relates to inflationary increases therefore minimal impact.

An additional charge of £69.10 per hour will be applied when another officer is required to provide assistance to the inspector. 3. For any work not covered by this guidance, or which varies significantly or is carried out in exceptional circumstances, an appropriate charge may be calculated as a surcharge to the hourly rate. 4. When a visit is made by a Trading Standards Officer to any premises for the purpose of carrying out any calibration functions, each visit may be subject to a minimum charge of £103.60 per Officer per visit regardless of the nature or amount of work requested or completed. 5. Visits carried out partly or entirely outside of normal office hours may incur a surcharge of 50% of the standard hourly rate per Officer per hour. 6. The guidance relates to the cost of testing single items. Inspectors should not be inhibited from departing from the quoted fee in locally determined circumstances. Discounted fees may be appropriate, for example, in the following circumstances: a. Where more than a single item is submitted on one occasion and particularly where large quantities are involved; b. Where facilities, equipment or assistance are provided by the submitter by prior arrangement; 7. When supplying specialist equipment (including but not limited to weighbridge test unit, van and test weights, etc) an additional fee may be charged hourly, daily or per appointment, according to circumstance. VAT rate applies unless work undertaken under the Measuring Instruments (EEC Requirements) Regs 1988. Page 9 L&R Comm

The category and rate under which a vessel is to be charged must be paid at the time of the berthing or on invoicing as appropriate. 2. All vessels are liable for dues at the Basic Rate. Only those, which are actively engaged in the relevant activity, are eligible for Category 2,3 or 4. 3. All vessels actively engaged in commercial undertaking, these would be subject to minimum payment by length as for unregistered vessels. 4. Rothesay and Campbeltown Pontoon are not managed by Argyll and Bute and are subject to their own charges. 5. The above rates and dues include for Port Waste Facilities to the level required by local and leisure craft. Any requirements for additional waste facilities or specialised waste disposal, in terms of the Merchant Shipping & Fishing Vessels (Port Waste Reception Facilities) Regulations 2003, must be made to the Service Director at least 24 hours in advance. This cost shall be paid prior to the provision of the service. 6. Concession rates for unlimited use will be available only for vessels “regularly sailing”. Additional dues will be required for vessels, which have made payment for unlimited use but are not “regularly sailing”. A vessel will be deemed to be “regularly sailing” if it leaves the installation for a continuous period of not less than 6 hours between 0600 hours and 2000 hours in any one day for more than 14 days. 7. Periods are: Summer period April to September inclusive, or part thereof. Winter period October to March inclusive, or part thereof. 8. All concession rates for unlimited use must be paid for in advance of the period for which they cover. Failure to do so will result in full rates being applied. 9. Commercial rates at Campeltown Harbour (non-ferry) determined against market rates as a comparitor against similar ports and recharged to shipping companies, as is standard practice in the global shipping market. 10. VAT Zero Rating only applies where the vessels are "qualifying ships". A "qualifying ship" is legally defined as any ship of a gross tonnage of not less than 15 tonnes and neither designed nor adapted for use for recreation or pleasure. The customer is a business customer who belongs outside the UK (it does not matter what size the vessel is). For goods remaining in sheds or on the pier or quays for a period longer than 24 hours, 50% of the original pier dues shall be charged for each 24 hours or part thereof. Provided that in the case of sheds occupied from time to time under lease or let from the Council such dues shall not be charged against the occupier or leasee. The terms of such leases or lets shall be subject to individual negotiation with the Executive Director. (Note there is a minimum charge of £10.00 for some items) Page 28 Ferries, Piers & Harbours
