Has anyone had their council tax rebate yet?

[jowly]

Ours has gone out of the bank as usual.. would be nice if some of it came back

@MrsPear

Still waiting. I was initially told we were not entitled as we rent. But we pay the council tax. So just wait and see.

We rent and got it

I have received my council rebate directly into my bank account. I received an email saying it was done and would show up my account in the next 5 days.

Ours came in this week by direct debit, they said 3 weeks after the first payment for this year and it was bang on (our DD is 1st of month).

Still waiting, council website says not to chase and they'll get to it.

I really need it as have already allocated what it will be used for!

Yes £150 in my bank account a couple of days ago.

Stupid idea if you ask me.

Nothing here. I don't pay by DD, so am having to wait on when/how to claim it.

Yes, had mine in the bank on 14th April.

Yes £150 in my bank account a couple of days ago.

Stupid idea if you ask me.

Fair enough for you if you don't need it, but it's a (small) lifeline to a great many folk who are really struggling more than ever now.

Same

The council just sent a letter stating the 150 was being deducted from our annual bill and showed our new lower monthly payments.

We've had ours too now.. a credit back to the account that pays it.

I can't help but think those councils that are reducing every month by a little are doing folk a real disservice. It must surely be more useful as a lump sum back, or a free month.

Not yet and the local council said they won't start until May and could be as late as September. It's not what was promised, espevislpt those who have had it deducted off the yearly bill.

Did those of you that have received it get a email first?

Not got mine yet! Not that I'm checking every day or anything 😂

This is just beyond comprenhension really. Instead of giving £150 back into our acocunts just lower the amount for the year. Would save so much more time surely. I just think its so stupid to have send more time and money on credit checks or a new system to send people £150.

Its no wonder our taxes are wasted through alot of inefficiency in the public sector esp the NHS when you have stupid things like this going on.

I had a letter with my new council tax bill to say the earliest we would get it would be 22/06

Getting ours on 6 May apparently.

@LaNozzeDiFigaro i’m in MK so seems they’ve started giving theirs out then!
ps it’s not very clear who it’s from when it comes into your account so I imagine the banks will be getting a lot of calls about it soon

I live in Powys and our council sent out letters to everyone who doesn't pay by dd to contact them with bank account details. Said they'll be paying hopefully in may/june

Still waiting for mine. Frustrating!

Mine was in my account yesterday. 3rd may

For those saying they’ve got it as a reduction on your bills, no you haven’t. That’s a council tax reduction which has replaced council tax benefit. It’s also £150 for many people so
is causing confusion. You’ll be delighted to hear that you’ll also get £150 pain into your bank account.

Our council has paid all the direct debit payers, I guess they're the easiest ones.

Everyone else has to register and I think they are starting to pay them from next week onwards.

Northampton council still taking their time but then they also lost that £10 mill so out payment is probably with that...
