A Visitor Levy is a charge on overnight stays in paid accommodation. Under the Visitor Levy (Scotland) Act 2024, councils can choose whether to introduce a levy, with any funds raised being invested in supporting local services, facilities and infrastructure that benefit visitors and local communities.

Following earlier engagement this year, Falkirk Council has developed a Draft Visitor Levy Scheme and is now inviting feedback from residents, visitors, accommodation providers, businesses, community groups and anyone with an interest in the area. The consultation will help inform a decision on whether a Visitor Levy should be introduced in Falkirk and, if so, how it should operate.

We will be happy to provide support to help you take part.
