Aberdeenshire’s council tax rate is neither among the highest or the lowest in Scotland … we are right in the middle of a league table of Scotland’s 32 local authorities, at 16th equal.
When comparing the new Band D council tax bills, Glasgow is the dearest at £1249, and the Western Isles is the lowest at £1055. In Aberdeenshire it is £1169. By the way, Aberdeen is fourth dearest at £1230.
The claim had been made that Aberdeenshire was one of the dearest in Scotland. Not so, according to figures published by the BBC.
That is interesting. I see the valuation notices have been posted to business addresses. I wonder what the rate in the pound will be for them.
The rate in the pound was announced some days ago at 46.4p – https://www.mygov.scot/business-rates-guidance/how-your-rates-are-calculated/
