New visitor levy powers to put money back into local communities

Summary

This Visitor Levy Bill, introduced in the House of Commons today, marks the most significant step in making fiscal devolution a reality, giving mayors and leaders who know their areas best the ability to introduce a small fee on overnight stays.

Money raised through the levy will stay in the city region, giving communities investment in the places and services used by visitors and residents.
