Discretionary Council Tax Energy Rebate

Islington’s Discretionary Council Tax Energy Rebate scheme is for households who were in receipt of council tax support on 1 April 2022.

Applications for the discretionary council tax energy rebate to be paid into bank accounts are now closed.

The discretionary payment will be credited to your council tax account on or around the 31st of August 2022 and your council tax bill will be reduced by that amount. If you have a My Islington account you can check your account online.
