## Resource

Scotland’s rolling out a bold new council tax plan targeting luxury homes, introducing fresh tax bands for properties worth £1M and £2M—set to launch April 2026—to raise £16M for local services. Officials argue it’s a fairer system, ensuring wealthier homeowners pay more to fund essentials like free tuition and prescriptions, with all revenue staying local. Critics call it performative, warn it could chill property sales, and question whether the real impact will be swallowed by admin costs. A public consultation runs until August 24, inviting Scots to weigh in on this divisive tax shift. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
