Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide details of any research that it has undertaken on the potential impact of a transient visitor levy on the income of local authorities that adopt one.
Answer
To date the government has not carried out any research on the impact on local authority income. It will be for individual local authorities to decide whether or not to apply a levy if they consider it appropriate for local circumstances.
