Scottish council Visitor Levy coverage
Scotland's Visitor Levy is set council by council, not nationally — each local authority runs its own consultation and confirms its own rate, night cap and start date. We only mark a council “live” once its scheme is confirmed and verified against official guidance; we never publish a guessed rate.
Coverage is still expanding. Right now Edinburgh is supported with live calculation rules in this product. See the status of other tracked councils below.
Confirmed and live
Charging now. Rate, night cap and effective date are verified against official guidance.
Confirmed — not yet live
The rate and rules are confirmed, but the scheme hasn't reached its effective date yet.
In consultation
These councils are consulting on a scheme. Nothing is confirmed yet — no rate, cap or date, and a consultation may not lead to a scheme at all.
Awaiting council decision
Consultation has closed. Draft proposals remain informational until a final decision and rules are verified.
Proposed
A scheme has been proposed for these councils but hasn't gone to consultation or been confirmed.
