Visitor Levy Forum meets for the first time
As Edinburgh moves towards charging a Visitor Levy the new Visitor Levy Advisory Forum has met for the first time under its chair, Julie Ashworth. The Forum will advise councillors on the final details of how the levy or tourist tax will be spent and may meet twice a year. It is estimated that the tax will introduce around £50 million into the council's budget. The scheme will be managed by The City of Edinburgh Council who already have financial payment systems in place to collect council tax from residents in the city. Julie Ashworth, Chair of the Visitor Levy Advisory Forum, said: 'Edinburgh's visitor levy scheme has been shaped by years of debate and views from all sectors and communities, and it is in this spirit I've appointed a group of people with fantastic experience and expertise from different fields and from civic life. I'm confident we have a really strong Forum in place and we're excited to get to work. 'Our introductory meeting focussed on ensuring that all members are up to speed with the Edinburgh Visitor Levy scheme, and the requirements of the group itself. Now that Forum members are familiar with this, the real work of advising the Council on levy matters can begin. 'With just over a year to go until the levy is launched, it will be our job to fairly and accurately represent the views of the city, and to encourage the Council at all stages to take these views into account. I'm grateful to every member for coming on board.' Member of the Visitor Levy Advisory Forum are: Lori Anderson, Director of Festivals Edinburgh Kat Brogan, Managing Director of Mercat Tours and Co-chair of Edinburgh's Living Wage Action Group Garry Clark, Development Manager, East of Scotland for the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and member of the Edinburgh Tourism Action Group Audrey Cumberford, Principal and Chief Executive of Edinburgh College Fran van Dijk, B-Corp Ambassador for B Lab UK and Advisory Board member of Green Element Neil Ellis, Chair of Edinburgh Hotels Association and member of the Edinburgh Tourism Action Group Euan Hamilton, Equality and Rights Network Development Worker for Volunteer Edinburgh Terry Levinthal, Director of the Cockburn Association Graeme Smith, Regional Industrial Officer, Unite the Union Douglas Tharby, Deputy Chair of the Edinburgh Association of Community Councils Kirsten Urquhart, Chief Executive of Young Scot Alex Williamson, Chief Executive of Scottish Rugby The City of Edinburgh Council was the first in Scotland to implement the new legislation put in place by The Scottish Government. The 5% tax will be charged on overnight accommodation in the city for a maximum of five nights. The charge will be applied for bookings paid for in part or in full on or after 1 October 2025 and for overnight stays on or after 24 July 2026. There are certain exemptions – for example those who are in receipt of certain benefits and those at risk of homelessness. (Read full scheme for the Edinburgh Visitor Levy below for more details). It is expected that the Transient Visitor Levy or Tourist Tax will raise around £50 million each year. The way it is then spent is largely determined by the legislation passed by The Scottish Government which says that funds must be 'reinvested in local facilities and services substantially used by business and leisure visitors'. Edinburgh has decided to spend the monies raised as follows: 55% on city operations and infrastructure, 35% on culture heritage and events, 10% on destination management. Fixed amounts will be spent on housing and tourism mitigation – £5 million per annum, participatory budgeting – £2 million over three years, and reimbursement of 2% of collected funds to accommodation providers to off-set the admin cost of collecting the levy. Setting up a Visitor Levy Forum by 24 July 2025 was a requirement of the legislation and the group must have a balance of membership from tourist organisations, businesses engaged in tourism and community representatives. Between September and December 2025 councillors will decide on investment programmes for the projected funds in executive committees By spring 2026 accommodation providers will have had to register for the payment platform set up by the council and be trained in using it By October 2026 accommodation providers will make their first levy returns for the period from 1 October 2025 and payments to the council. The council will then have to report fully on how they have invested the funds. The Scheme for the Edinburgh Visitor Levy is set out in full here.

Council faces £100k tax bill after ban on second home owners backfires
A council has been forced to reverse its ban on second home owners after failing to find a single buyer for a multi-million seafront development. Red-faced bosses at West Norfolk Council have lifted the restriction on a £7m block of flats in a desperate bid to prevent the council becoming liable for its own empty homes premium. The flats in Hunstanton – built by the council in a project part-funded by Homes England – were intended to only be sold to locals after being put on the market in December 2023. But the coalition-led authority has failed to secure a single buyer for the 32 homes in an 'embarrassing' failure, which risks blowing a further hole in its finances. The block of flats – called Styleman Court – is in danger of triggering the council's own empty homes premium. It is thought the double tax bill the council will have to pay itself for the empty properties would be close to £100k. Fearful of becoming a victim of its own penalty, councillors agreed to lift the ban on selling the flats to people whose principal homes are elsewhere in a behind-closed-doors meeting last month. If buyers are not found, the empty homes premium will kick in from February 2026. The Local Democracy Service reported that Simon Ring, deputy leader of the council, said: 'If the properties are still empty in a year's time, we will suffer the empty homes tax, which will be like being hoisted by our own petard.' Lenders have reportedly been reluctant to offer mortgages on the seaside flats amid fears they would be unsellable in the future as a result of the buying restrictions. Confidential papers seen by the Local Democracy Service state that removing the conditions will boost the value of each flat by an average of £39,500. A spokesman for the council said: 'The restriction was introduced to ensure that people who bought the homes lived in them. However, this had the unintended consequence of making it harder for local people to buy the flats because it affected mortgage availability. 'While accepting that it also means people can buy the flats as holiday homes, the removal of the restriction is primarily intended to make it easier for local people to purchase them.' 'No one wants to permanently live there' Independent councillor, Paul Beal, told The Telegraph: 'It's a lesson that's been learnt and a mistake can't happen again. The flats are built on a car park ... No one wants to live there full time. 'But as a holiday home destination, I think it would be fantastic. It's half a minute from the beach and you're two minutes from the town. 'Hunstanton was built for tourism, it is purely a tourist town and that's the way it has to be. It's our biggest industry so we should embrace it.' Another councillor said the failure to secure a single buyer after 19 months was 'embarrassing'. It is thought that construction costs for the project have gone almost £2m over budget due to delays and rising prices of materials. The council refused to comment further on this figure due to it being published in a private report. The flats are due to go back on the market without the ban on second home ownership. Six of the apartments are due to be kept by the council to be used as social housing.

(Image: Sidney Phillips via Zoopla) The lounge bar and restaurant, located off the reception hallway, has a partially boarded and carpeted floor and its own fully equipped bar with a panelled frontage. The room is divided into two sections with a reception lounge area furnished with leather bound sofas and chairs for up to 12 guests. The rest of the room is furnished with Regency dining chairs at assorted tables, providing seating for up to 40 diners. There is a large, well-equipped catering kitchen with a full selection of stainless-steel catering effects and work surfaces. (Image: Sidney Phillips via Zoopla) The kitchen measures approximately 9m x 7m, has stainless steel-clad walls, and non-slip flooring. It also includes a large 'walk in' freezer room and a separate wash-up area. The former manager's accommodation located on the ground floor is currently used for storage. This space includes a double bedroom and an ensuite shower room. The first floor houses seven letting bedrooms and a family suite, all decorated to a high standard with full bedroom suites, coffee making facilities, and televisions. Each bathroom has been recently refurbished. Notably, one of the letting bedrooms is a suite comprising two bedrooms that are currently let as one. The hotel stands on a sizable plot of 0.7 of an acre. (Image: Sidney Phillips via Zoopla) The front of the property features a lined tarmac space for six vehicles, as well as seating for customers. During the summer, the garden extends over the parking areas to provide additional garden facilities. There is a side car park with lined spaces for 10 vehicles and a ramp leading to an 'overflow' car park with space for up to 20 vehicles. Plans have been drafted and submitted to the planning department to convert the current restaurant into two self-contained apartments, each with two ensuite bedrooms and an open plan kitchen, lounge and diner. The current owners have been advised that planning consent is not required as it is a conversion of an existing area, but all relevant Building Regulation Consents will need to be obtained.
