The Scottish Government had previously opened a consultation which could have seen council tax on the highest band properties increased by between 7.5% and 22.5%. A spokesperson said: “We have just heard the announcement made at the SNP conference in relation to freezing council tax. We were unaware of it in advance.
He told the conference: “I can announce to the people of Scotland that, next year, your council tax will be frozen. Mr Yousaf went on to pledge £500 million of Government cash would be invested over the next five years to help develop a supply chain in Scotland that can support offshore, renewable energy projects.Humza Yousaf made his first keynote speech to SNP conference since becoming party leader
The First Minister added that that by the end of this current Holyrood term in 2026, the Scottish Government would “subject, of course to due diligence and market testing, go directly to the international bond market for the first time in our own right”. He criticised the Labour leader for his refusal to commit to scrapping the so-called rape clause – which prevents families from claiming some benefits for more than two children – should it win the next general election.
