The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has published guidance on eligibility for the Council Tax Energy Rebate. This includes the approach to rented properties and the applicable date for determining eligibility. Households in bands E-H that are not eligible for the rebate automatically may instead be eligible for support from their local authority through the discretionary funding.
