The local authority will allocate more than 32 32 million to help households across Liverpool as the cost-of-living crisis begins to subside. In February, the UK government announced a support package to help people with rising energy costs.
The support will take the form of two programs – a basic program consisting of a £ 150 discount on real estate in municipal tax areas AD. The discretion program will help households outside these areas and those who are eligible but may need further support.

A report by the Liverpool Council of Ministers said that “due to the large volumes to be processed, it may take several weeks to complete this part of the project”. Residents among the 122,000 households that pay municipal taxes in addition to direct debit, including 775 municipal employees who pay through their payroll, can expect to receive their discount by the end of May until the beginning of June. The local authority executive team is expected to sign the rebate program at its meeting next week. A total of εκατο 1.6 million has been allocated to the Liverpool Council by the government for the discretion program over the main των 32 million container. Households must meet a number of criteria to receive payment, which include the property being the sole or primary residence of someone and the taxpayer of the town council not belonging to a government, local body or housing association. The properties will not be eligible for a discount if there is no permanent resident, if it is a second home or uninhabited. Residents in municipal tax areas E to H receiving municipal tax support, as well as households in areas F to H eligible for disability reduction are eligible for the discretion program. This applies to people in the municipal tax zones E to H who meet the conditions for exemption from severe mental disability and deduction of caregivers. Applications will be supported by households in all tax council zones that benefit from proven resources and also have delays with their energy supplier. Any excess funds not spent by the Liverpool Council will be reimbursed to the UK Government. Read more related articles Read more related articles
