Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether people exempt from paying council tax will qualify for the council tax rebate.
The government has announced a £150 non-repayable council tax rebate from April this year for households in England in council tax bands A-D.
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities have published guidance on eligibility among households that are exempt from council tax; some of these households might be eligible for the discretionary funding administered by local authorities if they are not eligible for the core scheme.
