The UK and Scottish governments have published a joint response to their January 2024 consultation that confirms that they will proceed to devolving taxation powers to enable a building safety levy to be introduced in Scotland to help fund the repair of buildings with historical safety defects, particularly in light of the scale of the cladding issue in Scotland.
The UK government will propose the required secondary legislation to devolve the power in due course which the Scottish Parliament will consider, as well as any the further legislation that is necessary to establish the levy.
