The government response to the Visitor levy in England consultation was published on the gov.uk consultation page on 10 September 2026.
The market resolves on the consultation page at gov.uk/government/consultations/overnight-visitor-levy-in-england. YES if a document headed as the government response or consultation outcome is published there on or before 30 September 2026. If that source has not published in time, BBC News and PoliticsHome settle it.
We looked at every time since 2007 that the UK government announced a new levy or tax that councils or mayors in England would charge and keep. For each we asked one question: did a Bill giving that power have its first reading in Parliament within twelve months of the first government paper? Changes that needed no Bill are left out. Five cases fit, too few for us to show a percentage. The visitor levy, announced on 25 November 2025, is the open sixth.
