| Comment | The water and sewerage bit goes to Scottish Water. Although it appears on your Council Tax bill and is collected with your Council Tax, Water and Sewerage is not "Council Tax" at all. It is an entirely separate charge that is collected by the Council on behalf of Scottish Water, is remitted to Scottish Water in full, and so does not form any part of the council's budget. Councils have basically nothing to do with water and sewerage provisions anywhere in Scotland. It just goes on your Council Tax bill for the sake of ease of administration.
The actual Council Tax bit is entirely unrestricted on how it can be spent. |
