Tourist tax considered by South Ayrshire Council as survey launched

Officials are seeking the views of the public before deciding whether to proceed.

South Ayrshire Council is exploring the introduction of a 5% tourist tax, which could generate up to £500,000 annually. A public survey is underway until early May to gather opinions from residents and businesses. Only Edinburgh has confirmed the tax's implementation in Scotland. The council may establish a forum to discuss the levy further.
