Update: Cost of living: Most Welsh households to get £150 payments

  • Most households in Wales will receive a £150 payment as part of plans to tackle the rising cost of living.
  • The Welsh government said it would match the council tax rebate planned in England for homes in bands A to D.
  • The payments in Wales will also be offered to people living in all bands who do not pay the tax, unlike across the border.

How much is the council tax rebate in Scotland and what band am i in?

  • All households in bands A to D will receive a £150 payment or discount from their council tax bill, as will those in other bands who already qualify for reduced rates
  • Additional £10 million for the Fuel Insecurity Fund “to help households at risk of self-disconnection, or self-rationing their energy use, due to unaffordable fuel costs”

Spreading the cost rise over time - this year, people will receive a £200 discount on their bills from October. People will get a £150 council tax rebate in April to help with the cost of energy. It will not need to be repaid. for those on Bands A to D (Some exclusions could apply)You can check your council tax band here
