The big council tax freeze is over. Scotland's local authorities are setting their tax rates, with many considering rises of up to 10 per cent to balance the books.

Is it time to rewrite the entire council tax system? We hear from Ross Greer of the Scottish Greens and BBC Political Correspondent Phil Sim.
