Visitor Levy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of an Overnight Visitor Levy on the competitiveness of tourist destinations in the South West compared with destinations in Wales.
Answered by Alison McGovern
The precise design and scope of any Overnight Visitor Levy are still under consideration following the public consultation. The Government will publish its formal response to the consultation in due course.
Decisions on whether to introduce a levy, and on specific local proposals, will be for Mayors and local leaders, subject to local consultation. The detailed scope, including any exemptions, administrative arrangements, use of revenues and other aspects of policy design will be set out, where relevant, in future legislation.
