On 3rd February 2022, Government announced the introduction of a £150 non-repayable rebate for households in England in council tax bands A to D, known as the Council Tax Rebate.
In addition, discretionary funding has been supplied to Broxtowe Borough Council to support households who require additonal support.
To provide some immediate relief for these rising costs, while targeting those most likely to require support, Broxtowe Borough Council have been asked to provide a £150 one-off payment to a liable council tax payer (or a person who would otherwise be liable where the property is exempt) for every household that occupies a property which meets the scheme criteria.
The most recent information can be found on the Government's website:

This form is provided to capture the information required by the Council to verify and make these rebate payments. Where a rebate payment is issued, the person/s that according to the Council's records were the taxpayer in respect of the hereditament on 1 April 2022 is eligible to receive the rebate. Where the Council has reason to believe that the information that we hold about the taxpayer is inaccurate we may withhold or recover the payment.
It is important that you have your council tax account reference and the exact name details of an account holder as they appear on a recent Council Tax bill. We will ask for your date of birth and we will need a copy of your latest bank account statement to ensure the Council meets the government requirements for fraud checking. Payments will be made by BACS to your bank account. You will be required to self-certify that on 1 April 2022, you were the liable Council Tax payer (or would have been if you property wasn't exempt).
