A council in the Bristol region is encouraging residents to set up a direct debit for their council tax to be able to received the government's £150 tax rebate faster.
North Somerset Council said that eligible households, who pay council tax by direct debit, will see £150 go directly into their bank accounts from April. Those who don't pay by direct debit will be contacted by the council and invited to make a claim.
Properties in council tax bands A-D are eligible for the rebate and, in North Somerset, the funding applies to 76,656 homes, giving a total of £11.5m available.
