Deciding Matters
Get Involved
Find out about ways to participate in our work.
On 11 February 2025, the Scottish Government and COSLA announced the Programme of Engagement to support their shared commitment to long-term council tax reform.
Deciding Matters has been commissioned by Scottish Government to deliver a series of public engagement workshops exploring and deliberating options for council tax reform.
We want to share information about the different ways the council tax system in Scotland could be improved. We want to hear your views on:
-
options for making it more up to date by better aligning with current property values
-
changing the structure of property bands, and
-
schemes to ease any changes
The findings from these workshops will contribute to future considerations in the Scottish Parliament on the future of council tax.
