Automation with if/else service selection

Configuration
1

My electrical utility provider has time-of-use pricing that changes based on the season. I am trying to write an automation to capture this, but cannot get it to work. Would anyone be able to offer some guidance?

- trigger:
    - platform: time
      at: '07:00:00'
  condition:
    condition: state
    entity_id: 'binary_sensor.workday_sensor'
    state: 'on'
  action:
    - service: >
        utility_meter.select_tariff
        data:
          entity_id: utility_meter.daily_energy
            {% set month = now().month %}
            {% if month >= 5 and month <= 10 %}
          tariff: midpeak
            {% else %}
          tariff: onpeak
            {% endif %}
