How your Council Tax is set for 2025/26
As a Council, we are legally required to set a balanced budget each year. That means the money we receive from the Scottish Government, Council Tax and other sources must meet the cost of delivering services and ongoing investment to protect and improve communities.
Our revenue budget has been set at £488m for 2025/26. Some aspects of the budget are explained on our budget and finances webpage.
