A 6% increase was applied in 2024-25 following a 6% increase in 2023-24 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 £0.363m. 1.5 Harbour Fees have been increased by 3%. This 3% increase is ring fenced to fund asset improvement and sustainability within the piers and harbours. This is estimated to generate additional income of £0.279m.

ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL COUNCIL FINANCIAL SERVICES 27 FEBRUARY 2025 REVENUE BUDGET 2025-26 FEES AND CHARGES 2. INTRODUCTION 2.1 This report provides Members with information in relation to fees and charges for 2025-26. 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 2025-26. A 6% increase was applied in 2024-25 following a 6% increase in 2023-24 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 Local Authority Residential Care Provision (Community Care) 9% Charge has been right-sized to reflect budgeted costs. Non - Residential Services – excluding Sleepover Service 9% 24/25 Nursing Rate less a Nursing premium Local Authority Nursing Care Provision (Community Care) 9% 24/25 Residential rate Children & Families - Local Authority Residential Care Provision 43% Charge levied to other HSCPs/Councils buying places from Argyll and Bute. Hostel Charges - Catering: Tea, Coffee and Biscuits 10% Realigned with similar charges. Commercial Refuse 13% Additional 7.22% inflation on mixed waste refuse collection charges due to

landfill tax increase Waste Management - Tipping Charge per Service, including Landfill Tax 17% Waste disposal price per tonne uplifted to £166.50 to reflect landfill tax increase. Householder Scrap Car Removal 63% Uplift reflects Council contractor cost increase for removal/uplift and disposal Waste Disposal 17% - 22% Various impacts of increase to landfill tax Jura Vehicle Fares - all vehicles up to and including 6m - single journey (incl driver) 10% Service request for an additional £0.40 increase on what would have been the 6% uplift as the cost of 2 single journeys would come in less than the excursion return ticket Crematorium Charges 10%-12% £39 charge for dispersal of ashes now absorbed in with the overall charge (individual elements of the 24-25 charges uplifted 6%) Electric Vehicle Charge per KwH 56% Charge has been increased to reflect increasing asset management costs. Additional income will be ring fenced within the service area to cover ongoing costs. This increase brings charges in line with the majority of other Local Authorities and closer to the rate charged by private providers. Given the increasing costs likely to come forward to manage this asset group, a delegation to Officers to have authority to vary the fees in-year if necessary has been granted. Photocopying/Printing 3% - 27% Various photocopy types adjusted to take into account VAT error in 2024-25 3.2.3 The total impact of the general inflationary increases and those in the table above equates to an increase in income of £0.363m. 3.3 Piers and Harbours 3.3.1 Harbour Fees have been increased by 3%. This 3% increase is ring fenced to fund asset improvement and sustainability within the piers and harbours. This is estimated to generate additional income of £0.272m. No general inflationary increase has been proposed for piers and harbours dues to ensure that the service remains cost neutral. 3.4 Social Work Charges 3.4.1 The 2025-26 Social Work Fees and Charges schedule was presented to and endorsed by the IJB at its meeting on 29th January 2025. All Social Work fees and charges are included within the attached schedule of charges. This includes the removal of all Hostel Charges, which have now been allocated under
Page 4
Education. There are no other changes proposed to the Social Work charging policies for 2025-26. 3.5 No Inflationary Increase 3.5.1 There are a number of fees where no inflationary increase has been applied. These are: 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. Helensburgh Civic Centre Events - the hire rate needs to be benchmarked and charged in line with other hall hires in the Helensburgh and Lomond area to remain competitive. There is a risk that any rise in charge beyond those of similar facilities locally would result in community groups and other hirers opting to use alternative venues, which would result in a loss of income to the Council rather than an increase. Hermitage Park Pavilion Community Room – aligned to Civic Centre Events Registrars Fees and related charges – these are set by Registrar General and there is no increase for 2025-26. School meals income (see paragraph 3.5.2). Private water supplies – these are statutory charges and capped at fixed amounts. Homeless Temporary Accommodation – not subject to inflation, only the service charge is inflated. Parking – as per recommendation in the Council’s review of TRO arrangements. Argyll and Bute Council are currently carrying out a review of Roads and Infrastructure Services and as such no inflation has been applied at this stage. Proposals will be brought forward as part of the Roads and Infrastructure review improvement recommendations. 3.5.2 Members are asked to consider a recommendation from officers that the charges for school meals are not increased in 2025/26 (similar to the position in 2024/25 and 2023/24). There are non-financial factors which officers have taken into account in their assessment which they consider outweigh the financial benefits to the Council from an increase in the school meals charges which are: The financial impact on families of additional school lunch costs would compound the financial difficulties which many families are already having to cope with in the current cost of living crisis. Families may opt to continue to buy the more expensive meals and look at other areas of their expenditure to cut back on to balance their household budgets or they might seek alternative lower cost, less healthy and less nutritional meal options elsewhere. Both options are highly likely to be detrimental to the overall health and wellbeing of pupils and their families. The Council has a statutory duty under the Schools (Health Promotion and Nutrition) (Scotland) Act 2007 to promote nutrition with school meals provision being a key element of the Council’s efforts to ensure that all children have at least one nutritious meal per day. Local research on demand
Page 5
modelling shows that an increase in school meal charges will most likely reduce demand and therefore uptake of school meals. The result would be fewer children having a nutritious school meal which would be counterproductive to the Council satisfying its statutory obligation. 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 or an estimated inflation rate has been applied: 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 Landfill Tax Roads Inspection charges, set by Roads Authority and Utility Committee (Scotland). Penalty Charges notices set by the Scottish Government. Private Landlord Registration Fees set by the Scottish Government. Inter-Authority Substitute Family Care Placements Blue Badges. 3.6.2 Building Warrant Fees are set by Scottish Government on a triennial basis and have been increased for 2025-26. This is anticipated to produce additional income for Local Authorities which will offset the lost GAE for the new Building Control Hub in the Fife area and also allow Local Authorities to employ additional staff in order to strengthen and grow their building standards verification service. 4.

PETROLEUM Notes to Fireworks & Explosives charges 1. If you keep fireworks, shotgun cartridges, certain bird scarers or other explosive products for sale you are likely to require an explosive licence. 2. You can generally store up to 2,000 kg of explosives with a licence issued by us, although there are some conditions relating to its storage. 3. We will need to know the hazard type and quantity of the explosives you wish to store to determine whether your store is suitable. 4. The quantity you will be allowed to store will depend on the hazard type of the explosives. 5. Regulation 27 of the Explosives Regulation 2014 sets out the distances that must be maintained between a store and a building or other place. This is known as the separation distance. You will not normally be required to maintain separation distances if you store no more than: a) 250kg hazard type 4 b) 25kg hazard type 3 (or combination of hazard type 3 and hazard type 4) 6. The most common fees for storage of fireworks for one year are set out below. Discounted rates are available for periods of 2-5 years. 7. Prices for other types of explosive licences are available upon request. 8. All fees for storage of explosives are set by the UK Government, and can currently be found in Schedule 7 of the Health and Safety and Nuclear (Fees) Regulations as amended by the Health and Safety and Nuclear (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 2023. These regulations are subject to change at short notice. Notes to Petroleum charges 1.

The 2023/24 guidance is based on a chargeable rate of £103.60 per officer per hour, designed to facilitate full cost recovery for metrological activity. A charge is made per officer hour spent at the place of submission of the equipment for the purposes of examination, adjustment, testing or retesting of the equipment. It should be noted that the time taken should be quoted on the account and should not include any time spent on research or on travel to the site at which the equipment is to be tested. 2. 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.
