A letter to all Local Authorities in England from the Department of Levelling up, Housing & Communities outlined its initial new burdens down-payment to cover the estimated staffing and software costs to deliver the scheme.
The letter said:

Under the scheme, councils will issue a £150 rebate to households in England, in council tax bands A to D. Individual council grant allocations are listed in the letter.
