In February, the Government announced that all households in council tax bands A to D are entitled to a one-off council tax energy rebate payment of £150. You do not have to pay this back.
The quickest way to receive your rebate:
If you pay your council tax by direct debit, Wiltshire Council will use your bank details to pay the rebate straight in to your account. You do not need to do anything.
Look out for a letter if you don’t pay your council tax by direct debit:
If you are eligible for the energy rebate but do not pay your council tax by direct
debit, you will receive a letter through the post inviting you to submit your bank
details via the Wiltshire Council website.
This will ensure the rebate can be paid into your bank account. You do not need to call us; we will write to you in early May.
If you do not pay council tax:
There are some households in Wiltshire that do not pay council tax because they
receive a council tax reduction.
We will be writing to these households and inviting them to provide their bank details so that the energy rebate can be paid to them.
Properties in council tax bands E – H:
The Government has given the council a discretionary fund to help households on low incomes who live in properties in bands E-H.
Visit the Wiltshire Council website for further information about the scheme.
Updates on the rebate and discretionary funding will be posted on the Wiltshire Council website at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/council-tax-energy-rebate
