Cost of Living Council Tax Rebate

Announced today, what does the promised £150 council tax rebate for householders from April 1st, 2022 mean to us? It depends where you live. Only bands A to D inclusive are applicable for the rebate and here is the breakdown when comparing Rhuthun/Ruthin and Y Rhyl.

Eligible households in Y Rhyl	80 per cent
Eligible households in Rhuthun	57 per cent

In other words, 57 per cent of Rhuthun homes will be eligible for the rebate but 80 per cent of dwellings in Y Rhyl will get it.

In Rhuthun/Ruthin, this affects 1,849 domestic properties in town, which is 57 per cent of the total. This will result in a cumulative saving among households of £277,350.

Contrast this to the position in Rhyl, Denbighshire's most populous town (which is five times the population of Rhuthun/Ruthin). There, the £150 rebate will benefit 80 per cent of homes.
