Martin Lewis is warning households over a common misconception which could see them miss out on £150.
Millions of people in England are eligible for savings on their council tax bills this month, following an announcement from Chancellor Rishi Sunak in February. Everyone who lives in council tax bands A-D will see a discount automatically applied to their bill in April.
Around 20 million households in council tax bands A to D - including 95% of rented properties - will receive a £3bn council tax rebate, which does not have to be repaid. But not everybody who is eligible will see the money land in their bank account.
