Councils across Nottinghamshire have provided an update on the Government's £150 tax rebate for those who are yet to receive it. The costs of living continue to rise, with fuel prices remaining at never before seen highs and energy bills set to soar over the winter months, and the tax rebate was first issued in an attempt to help financially struggling Brits.
Since the rebate was promised months ago amid soaring energy bills, the Conservative Government was forced to U-turn and pledge more support as costs continued to rise and concerns became graver. For most people, particularly those who pay by direct debit, the rebate has now been paid, but for those who don't the wait has been longer.
Some residents had been reporting delays to their payments, too, including Nottingham City Council taxpayers. The city council responded to say it's been difficult for councils to facilitate the payments under a government system which is "far from perfect" and Nottinghamshire Live understood some of these problems arise due to a number of accounts having no first name or the account having a different name on its direct debit.
