    Council Tax energy rebate application

    The process to apply for the Council Tax energy rebate has now closed.

    If you have not applied and are eligible we will pay the energy rebate payment to your Council Tax account, so that you don't miss out. You will receive payment by 30 September 2022 before the scheme ends.

    Eligibility

    You will receive £150 energy rebate if: 

    • your property is in Council Tax band A to D (or band E where there is a disabled band reduction)
    • you are liable to pay Council Tax
    • the property is your sole and main residence on 01 April 2022
    • you do not currently pay any Council Tax because you receive maximum Council Tax support and have no Council Tax to pay
    • the property is in exemption classes N, S, U or W:
      • N - properties occupied solely by student
      • S - occupied by under eighteen year olds only
      • U - occupied only by severely mentally impaired persons
      • W - annexe occupied by dependant relative

    You will not be eligible if: 

    • your property is a second home
    • your property is empty on 01 April 2022
    • you are in Council Tax bands E to H (some band E properties are eligible where there is a disabled band reduction)

    How this affects paying your normal bill

    You must continue to pay your Council Tax bill as normal on the dates shown on your bill for 2022/23. If you are struggling to pay, please contact us.

    People who share paying the bills

    Only one payment of £150 can be paid per property. Where the Council Tax is paid by direct debit the £150 will be paid to the account that is used to pay the Council Tax. Where the Council Tax is not paid by direct debit, customers will need to decide who is going to apply. We will pay whoever applies for the property, as long as the applicant is one of the liable parties for paying Council Tax.
