£150 Council Tax Energy rebate
The Government announced on 3 February measures to help protect millions of households from rising energy costs. This includes a ‘£150 council tax energy rebate’.
Over the coming weeks we will start to make the £150 rebate payment to qualifying households. This will be a payment rather than a reduction in your Council Tax bill, based on Council Tax information we hold. This rebate will not need to be repaid by those who are eligible.
Please be aware that scammers are reported to be cold-calling people asking for their bank details to receive the energy grant. We will never ring and ask for your bank details.
See our Council Tax energy rebate page for details of who qualifies and how payments will be made.
Please do not phone us as we will update this website as soon as we have further information.

Homes for Ukraine scheme
Council tax discounts will not be affected if you sponsor and host a Ukrainian household in your home. The government are offering a £350 a month ‘thank you’ payment to all sponsors – this will not affect any council tax discounts.

We are receiving reports of an email HMRC/Council Tax scam. Be aware and be vigilant especially online. Do not give any bank details via email or over the telephone to cold callers. If you are suspicious report it at: gov.uk/report-suspicious-emails
SMS from Council Tax
We are using SMS (texts) to contact our customers about late instalments. Text messaging is a cheaper and often more convenient way of getting in touch with residents. It is used by a growing number of Government and private sector organisations to send brief advice messages to customers.
