As you will probably be aware the government has confirmed that all households falling within the council tax brackets between A to D will be eligible this summer for a rebate of £150 to help with increasing energy costs.
Maidstone Borough Council has already paid £5.3million to 35,500 council tax payments as part of the government's rebate scheme, but have you had yours?
If you settle your council tax by direct debit but have yet to receive your rebate you must visit your local Borough Council website and complete their application. For Maidstone residents this is
For those who don't pay by direct debit you should have received a letter during May with further details on how to complete the application form. You will not receive a telephone call or text from your local council in relation to this so do not fall fowl of any scammers who may be trying to obtain your bank details.
If you are a higher council tax from E to H you may also be eligible for a discretionary payment if the council believes you are experiencing fuel poverty. Please keep an eye on your local Borough Council website to find out what they are offering in your area as it is likely they will all differ.
