Council Tax

[gavroche]

I have just received my Council Tax demand for 2022/23 and it doesn't show anywhere the £150 rebate the chancellor has granted us for that year.
Is it just for England then?

The insert with mine said it'll come back to the direct debit account at some point, not factored into the actual bill. It's only for bands A-D
Dunno if it's just England...try Google/your council's website?

Ditto.

 

[ClichéGuevara]

Nothing with mine though that may me due to one or two reasons

1. I’m in Scotland
2. I’m not in band A-D.

Blimey, you must live in a posh area if they use algebra for your council tax.

just checked mine
"We are waiting for software updates from our suppliers before we can deliver the £150 energy rebate. We are not set to receive the software until late April, so the earliest any rebate payments will be made is early June 2022."

If you currently pay by Direct debit you will get a refund to that bank account in April. Why the heck they couldn't just knock it off the bill I do not know! If you don't pay by DD they will contact you to arrange how it will get paid

I am in band D but don't pay by DD but the Post Office . I shall ring them on Monday and find out.

Just checked the council's site and it says payments will start in April so let's wait and see.

I'm in Scotland, Falkirk Council area. My house is band B, the £150 rebate is on my bill.

So it is. I hadn’t even noticed!

 

[fossyant]

Checked our banding... some poor bugger is an E for some reason on our road. whoops.... The rest B or C - me B..

 

[oldwheels]

The £150 is deducted from my council tax notice in Argyll & Bute. Adding on water and sewage I will actually pay less than last year. I am band B.

I got my £150 rebate on my bill - South Lanarkshire council.
Is this the " forced energy loan" that we will have to pay back at some point?

No, that’s separate I think. Personally, I would rather not receive it just to have to repay it later. I’m not sure if it is an option or not?
