Following the Government's Budget announcement of a £100 energy payment for all Council Tax bands A-D, alongside discretionary funding to support other eligible households, we are awaiting Government guidance on how the scheme will work. We will post further details once they are available. You can prepare for the Household Energy Payment to be paid directly to your bank by signing up to pay your Council Tax by Direct Debit today
