As a Commission, our job was to look at ways of delivering a fairer system of local taxation in Scotland. We put evidence at the heart of our work, and wanted to listen to as many views as possible.
We started that activity by asking for your views about what happens now, and what the future might be. There were two ways to tell us what you think and you could complete both, or choose the one that suited you best. You can find out what people told us on our Submissions page.
We’ve also been using the information that we have received to explore new ideas and help start the debate. We wanted to have an ongoing conversation, and that’s why we set up different ways of meeting us or telling us what you think. You can find out more about our programme of events here.
