Welcome to the Local Government Finance
Review Committee's website. The Committee
is entirely independent of the Scottish
Executive and any political party. We
were asked to:
- Review different options for local taxation - including
reform of the Council Tax
- Identify the pros and cons of implementing any changes
to the local taxation system in Scotland
- Make recommendations to the Scottish Executive based
on our findings
Our Report is now available.
It is the result of a thorough and objective
analysis of possible local taxation systems.
The Committee is separate from the inquiry
led by Sir Michael Lyons in England. Our
report makes recommendations to the Scottish
Executive based on our findings and it
will be for the Scottish Executive
to determine the way forward.
We commissioned a number of research projects as part
of our review. They
are available for viewing here. So too are transcripts
of a series of oral hearings held with
a range of stakeholders.
We previously issued a Consultation
Document which sought views, information
and evidence to help us come to our
conclusions. We are extremely grateful
to the many people who took the time
to submit their views to us. These
responses are summarised in a Feedback
Report.
