Moray Council tax rise of 3% agreed

Moray councillors have backed a 3% rise in council tax.

The increase adds £34.05 to a Band D property.

Local authorities can increase the basic rate of council tax by up to 3% for the first time since 2007, but higher-band properties will pay more regardless after MSPs approved changes.

This will see Band H properties in Moray pay £594.17 more.
