Could you please advise me of the dates that the working group with COSLA and the SNP Government have met since it was established.

Response

In December 2022, Scottish Ministers convened the Joint Working Group on Sources of Local Government Funding and Council Tax Reform. The remit of the group is two-fold:

To consider proposals for meaningful changes to be introduced to the current council tax system to make it fairer. To consider approaches to longer term reform.

The Joint Working Group is progressing the second phase of its work focused on longer-term reform, including developing plans for public engagement on the nature of reform.

The Joint Working Group has met 9 times since the group was convened. See the dates below:
