Budget 2026 £100 payment
On 28 October 2026, the Government announced that people in Council Tax Bands A to D will receive a £100 payment in their bank accounts. We will provide this in January 2027 with the details we have in the Council Tax system.
We currently have no more detail than this and there may be exceptions which we will outline when we receive the detailed guidance. As soon as we have more detail, we will provide an update.

You will also need to tell us:
