However, taxpayers not using direct debit can expect their council to contact them before the rebate is given.
The rebate was announced in February as part of a package of measures provided by Treasury to help Britons survive the cost of living crisis.
Alongside the rebate, which does not need to be repaid, Britons will also receive a £200 energy discount.
The energy discount has been criticised as a loan rather than a discount as Britons are expected to pay back this £200 through annual £40 payments over the next five years.
The package is said to cost HM Treasury £9billion with the poorest households reportedly receiving the biggest rebates.
