Households in Council Tax bands A-D will receive a £100 payment next year. The payment is designed to help those struggling with increased energy prices. The measure is part of Budget 2026, which also includes a new pension tax allowance of £13,319. Unfortunately, the discount does not apply to those who own more than one property.
