Delay confirmed to apply for short-term letting licence
The SSI on the 6-month delay has now been approved by MSPs at Decision Time.
Fiona Campbell, CEO of the Association of Scotland’s Self-Caterers, said:
"It is welcome news that MSPs have voted for the six-month delay for existing operators to apply for a short-term let licence. This provides temporary respite for hard-pressed Scottish tourism businesses but it is a sticking plaster policy as there are so many concerns to overcome if the £867m self-catering sector is to once again survive and thrive."
