Anyone got their council tax rebate today

[Onanotherdiet38]

Not very clear when in April it's due, my bill comes out on the 15th for example of this month, so would I need to wait until after then?

Apparently it has to be paid by the end of September 🙄

MIne have told me I've had a change in circumstances and have withdrawn my single person reduction for all last year and this year! So I supposedly now owe them around £500 for last year and have an increased bill for this year. I don't think so........

Only after they've verified your bank account details...

Just checked my local authority page and this is what they are saying:

For direct debit instalment dates 1, 5 and 10 April 2022 payment are expected to be made at the end of April 2022.
For direct debit instalment dates 15, 20 and 25 April 2022 payment are expected to be made during May 2022

In Scotland I got my council tax bill three weeks ago with the £150 applied as a credit then the remaining balance split over the direct debits for the year as normal. The £150 credit makes the direct debit £6 a month less than last year because we had a 5% CT rise. Whoop.

@Cockle1234

It is entirely possible. In Scotland it's being applied directly.

Just been on my councils website and it states it will be paid at some point between April and September, if you dont pay by DD you need to download a form .... but thats not available yet. Absolute frickin joke.

I'm just going to have to forget about it for now I think! Sounds like it won't be here for a while ..

How do you know if you are entitled to the rebate?

If you are in bands A-D and pay your bill by direct debit

I pay 1st month amd was hoping to get it today too. Now realise it was optimistic!

My council say they have not received the funds from central government,and have until September to make payment.

twinsetandpearl everyone in a band A-D gets the rebate. If you pay by Direct Debit it should go directly into your bank account (England), if you don't pay by DD then you will be invited to fill in a form to claim it.

I pay on 15th and was hoping I'd have it by the end of the month but it looks like I was naively thinking they'd actually give us it in April.

Mine has been taken off this year's bill rather than receiving £150, so £15 off a month, which is quite disappointing, I'm in Scotland.

Oh yes forgot the rise in c.tax anyway,so I've saved around £10 a month, would much rather have had £150.

@cockle1234 that is exactly what my LA has done. I'm getting £15 a month reduction. Just because it's not happening to you doesn't mean it's not happening.

I haven’t told DH about the rebate

I'll expect it sometime in September!

@ICantRideABike

I haven’t told DH about the rebate

Does he not read or watch the news?

No time frame given by our council. Not bothered though as it will be going straight in to my rainy day fund.

It is a rebate @WinniesHunny…

Nope but I’m just bitter I don’t get it 😭🤣

Mine isn't starting to pay out until May and says it should be done by the end of June... Must be one of the slowest in the country
