How Much Will Edinburgh's Tourist Tax Cost You? The City of Edinburgh has joined a growing list of European destinations with a 5% tourist tax.
The revenue generated from this tax, expected to reach £45 50 million annually by the 2028/29 financial year, will be reinvested in local services and facilities.
Proponents argue that the tax will raise vital funds for improvements, while others claim it could deter visitors and harm the city's economy.
