However, a failure to consult with council leaders ahead of the speech exacerbated tensions between the Scottish government and local authorities over funding.for those earning between £75,000 and £125,140, and a "fully funded" council tax freeze, providing local government with the equivalent of a 5% rise.
"People in this country are living through one of the worst, if not the worst, cost of living crisis we've ever seen. Cosla's resources spokesperson Katie Hagmann, who is also an SNP councillor in Dumfries and Galloway, said it should be up to local councils to decide on how to set council tax.She told BBC Scotland News councils were facing really tough decisions to make sure people can "live well locally".
