Our utility bill is really low so I was quite surprised today to get a letter from the council telling me they're gonna send us the gubmit's £150 rebate. Turns out we just happen to be in the right council tax band. But that's like a third of our energy bill :stare:

Yes, its forced on you and then claimed back over a few years. You can't seem to opt out of it. Its more a weird complicated loan than a rebate.
Never mind I am confusing the £200 payment with the other £150 one they are also doing.

The £150 is a council tax rebate on lower banded properties, which isn't the most regressive thing considering the regressive nature of council tax.

The £200 pseudo-loan paid back over the next four years is a massive gently caress that Sunak thinks is genius despite people keep telling him that it'll cause more trouble than it's worth.

Someone pointed out that literally every time a minister gets monstered, it'll shortly be followed up by 'Westminster insiders have pegged Michael Gove as a potential replacement', so it may be less a crab bucket and more a single particularly aggressively grabby sea creature.

I don't know the bit but yeah, same. Seeing Sunak playing the victim over being a m(b?)illionaire tax dodger family after tightening the screws on the peasants put me over the edge today

Edit: I'm in band C so I should get a rebate right? Is that a cheque or just comes off the bills?

Depends on your council, most are apparently going to be returning it direct to the account you pay it with if it's by direct debit. You should have got a little leaflet with your council tax bill for the year last month - if not check your council's website for details.

If it's like mine, you'll get your bill and the part that lists your discount will be just under where they list all the different reasons it's increased. There was one new addition to my council tax bill that pretty much wiped out the rebate by itself. If your bill this year is actually any cheaper than last year's, be impressed. At least my car/home insurance has decreased this year without me needing to phone up and act like I'm going to switch.

No leaflet but yeah just checked the website, looks like they'll bank transfer it. Cheers

Apparently in Wales if you were paying by direct debit in February it'll go to your bank account by end of April otherwise they will contact you. But I only just set mine up as dd so I suppose I shall have to be contacted.
It's not mentioned on my council tax bill at all. But then Wales hadn't 100% decided what to do until after England.

Foxy Kimono pointing out something I've been thinking for years ever since I engaged with the system. Filling out your own tax teturn enables an astronomical amount of freebies that are not available to your average PAYE employee.

I don't earn nearly enough (and I doubt most people do) to qualify for the poo poo you get if you pay an accountant to sort out the deductibles, but even the basics from accidentally filling out the gov.uk full self assessment return looked absolutely crazy.
