Martin Lewis has confirmed eligible Scottish households will receive a £150 rebate on their Council Tax bill to help offset the upcoming energy price hike in April.
Speaking on the latest episode of The Martin Lewis Money Show Live on Thursday, the consumer champion explained that the support measure put in place by Chancellor Rishi Sunak last week for households in England will also apply to Scotland.
He told viewers: “If you’re in Council Tax bands A to D in England, you should get this automatically on the 1st of April, I haven’t seen the exact details yet because they’ve not published it yet, but it will be automatic. Also, today we heard that the Scottish Government will be mirroring the English system - if you’re in bands A to D you’ll get £150 on the 1st of April.”
