Council tax rise: a blessing or a curse?
In Glasgow, it was one year longer as the then Labour-run council under Steven Purcell put in place a freeze in 2006.The idea was that the Scottish Government compensated for any rise and gave councils a share of a dedicated pot of cash if they agreed not to impose a rise.Over that same period, however, council budgets were cut dramatically.
The Scottish Government says it has funded local government with an extra £376 million last year, or 3% more.There are – as with any policy announcement on tax – questions about the motivations of the decision. They were expecting to be hit with a bigger rise next year from 12% up to 22.5%, so the top band will save £750 a year now that the idea has been scrapped.
