A consultation on increasing council tax by as much as 22.5% for the most valuable homes in Scotland has been launched.
News of the plans leaked earlier this month, after the Daily Record obtained a COSLA report, leading to Dave Moxham of the STUC claiming the proposal is “tinkering around the edges” when the whole system should instead be scrapped.
If implemented, the plans would see council tax for homes in bands E, F, G and H increased on a sliding scale of 7.5%, 12.5%, 17.5% and 22.5%, to address concerns about the fairness of the charge.
