Nottingham City Council says a council fund has also been provided to help lower-income households that may not qualify for the energy bill deduction. This will include households with lower incomes or receiving the Council Tax Reduction Plan (CTRS) and residing on properties in zones above Zone D. If they are eligible for the discount, people do not need to apply to receive it. If you are already paying your city tax by standing order, the lump sum payment will be automatically credited to your account. However, receiving money from eligible households without direct debit settings will take longer. This is because city councils should contact them about the program and conduct prepayment checks. Most local authorities in Nottinghamshire say the discount will be paid into the accounts by the end of April, but some may be delayed until May. This is because some councils are testing new software systems and, in some cases, the government has not provided the software to some local authorities. And a city council will pay the beneficiaries £ 173 instead of £ 150. Here is what everyone says: Nottingham It has been widely reported that those who do not pay by standing order may lose the opportunity. Therefore, Nottingham City Council says it will send a letter to all of these households to explain the process. However, he has warned people not to call the council. He says the payments will be made from April. A city council spokeswoman said: “This is a government program that manages councils and allows eligible households to receive a one-time payment of ρών 150 this spring to ease the financial strain of factors such as rising energy prices in April. . “Households that are currently paying their municipal tax through a standing order will see the discount from April onwards. Non-paying households are encouraged to register to pay their city tax in this way, which they can do online here: www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/counciltax. “We will write to those households that do not pay by standing order to explain what they need to do to receive their payment. We will urge people not to call the council to pursue their payment, as it will be done as soon as possible. “ Rasklif Payments at Rushcliffe are expected after April 30th. A Rushcliffe City spokesman said: “Payments to Rushcliffe residents are expected to be made after April 30, in accordance with the system and flat-rate procedures for this tax year. The board can not make such payments until at least the first direct charges of this new financial year are made. “ Bassetlaw Bassetlaw Regional Council has warned of delays. Reports indicate that “discount software” has not been provided by the government to some councils, including Bassetlaw. This means they are currently trying out a software upgrade and hopefully most people who have direct debits will be paid this month, but others will get a discount in May. This comes after additional government pressure after allegations that it is not doing enough to help the people who are struggling. Gentling Gedling City Council will do things slightly differently. It will use its discretionary funding to pay an additional £ 23 to households in AD zones receiving tax support from the municipality. This will raise the total amount paid into bank accounts to £ 173 in Gedling, for those who qualify. However, it may be delayed because Gedling is having similar problems with Bassetlaw with payment software. Deputy Chief Adviser Michael Payne said: “I am pleased to announce that in addition to paying £ 150 for all residents in AD bands, we have also decided to use our discretionary funding to pay an additional £ 23 to these households in AD complexes that receive municipal tax support as well as pay 3 173 to all those households that receive municipal tax support on properties with zone greater than zone D. “This means that Gedling City Council is offering a 17 173 payment to all households receiving tax support in the municipality, regardless of their county tax zone, showing our commitment to helping those in our community most in need. “We are currently testing the software required to implement the discount system. Once the system is ready, we will start making payments. We are working as fast as possible to receive payments to bank accounts and we are advising residents to sign up to pay their city tax with a direct charge to help them receive their payment immediately. “ Some municipalities and regions have not even responded and this story will be updated accordingly.
