PUBLIC views on the future of Council Tax in Scotland are being sought.

An independent, cross-party body set up to look at fairer ways of funding local government has launched a short online survey.
Commission chairman Marco Biagi MSP said: “The present Council Tax is universally acknowledged as being unfair, but our public services depend upon the £2 billion of funding it delivers each year. The views of Scotlandís 2.4 million Council Tax payers are fundamental to our understanding of other potential systems and their likely success.
“Nearly every household in Scotland is liable for Council Tax, but nobody has ever asked the public how they might best contribute to the funding of public services.î
Both the online questionnaire ñintended to take no more than 5 minutes ñ and the call for evidence are available via the commissionís website at www.localtaxcommission.scot
The deadline for responses is June 22.
