What happens if I don't pay my council tax?

Hi all,

I’m in Scotland, and live in the area that has had the highest council tax increase this year. I’m wondering what the consequences are if I don’t pay my council tax bill on time or miss a payment. I know things work slightly differently in Scotland compared to the rest of the UK, but I’m not sure about the exact process.

Do they give you a grace period? How quickly do they take action, and what kind of enforcement can they use? Would it affect my credit score or lead to legal action?

Have any councils that you know of been known to waiver the yearly % increase and honour the previous years price?

Any advice or insight would be appreciated!
