England · Budget 2026

Is the band in A to D for the £100 energy payment?

The government has named council tax bands A to D in England for a one-off £100 Household Energy Payment. This page only tells you the band. It does not decide who is paid.

The government's own rules decide eligibility, including whether the home is your main home and whether you are liable for the council tax. Full criteria were still to be published when this page was written. Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are funded separately, and those governments decide how to use it.
