Cruise ship levy: consultation
We are seeking views on a potential local authority cruise ship levy in Scotland. Specifically on the benefits and problems a cruise ship levy could bring, the potential impacts (both positive and negative), and practical questions about how any such levy could best work.
13. Title of a cruise ship levy
This paper has used the term ‘cruise ship levy’ for a potential levy applied to cruise ships that visit ports in Scotland and have passengers disembark. A variety of terms are used in other parts of the world where such levies exist. We would welcome views and suggestions on other names that could be used, such as a cruise levy, a cruise ship passenger levy, a cruise industry levy, etc. We would also welcome input on whether different permutations of the name might have unintended consequences such as introducing some level of negative or incorrect inference, or being difficult to translate accurately into other languages.
