As we face rising costs of living due to global inflationary pressures in the world economy, this Government is committed to providing help to people and families to ease the pressure.
We have announced a Three Part Plan, worth £8.6 billion, to help household fuel bills immediately:
A £200 'smoothing' rebate on energy bills for all households, to be paid back over the next five years at £40 per year - starting from April 2023.
A non-repayable £150 cash rebate for homes in Council Tax bands A-D - equivalent to 80% of all households, helping both lower and middle-income families.
£144 million of discretionary funding for local authorities to support households not eligible for the council rebate.
