Support for Energy Costs: £100 Payment

Households in Council Tax bands A-D will receive a £100 payment next year. This measure is intended to assist households facing higher energy bills. The measure is part of Budget 2026, which also includes a new pension tax allowance of £13,319. Unfortunately, the discount does not apply to those who own more than one property.

“The measure is part of Budget 2026, which also includes a new pension tax allowance of £13,319,” — Ingrid Thorne, staff writer at Ashcroft Ford Partnership, explained.
