The Highland Council is proposing a visitor levy for the Highland region of 5% on overnight accommodation, applicable year-round. A twelve-week public consultation on this has been extended to close on Monday 31st March 2025. It is crucial for businesses, residents, and visitors to share their views directly through the Highland Council consultation portal.
