Council Tax

This page brings together everything you need for Council Tax, including how to pay, understand your bill, manage your account, apply for reductions and report changes in your circumstances.

Ways we can support you with reading your Council Tax information.

On 28 October 2026, the Government announced new support to help with rising energy costs. This includes a £100 payment for households in Council Tax bands A to D.

We expect the Government to give us more information about this support in the coming weeks. At the moment, we believe this will be a one-off £100 payment and won’t be taken off your Council Tax bill or paid as a Council Tax refund.

Please continue to pay your Council Tax as normal.

You do not need to contact us or do anything yet. We will contact households that can get the payment once the process is confirmed.

We do not expect to start contacting eligible households before January 2027.
