You can pay your Council Tax and Business Rates by Direct Debit.
More than 70% of residents pay their Council Tax in this way. Why?
- because Direct Debit offers a number of important advantages:
- Peace of mind - Direct Debit is a safe, secure and reliable
system.
- It's the most convenient way to pay - Direct Debit saves you
the bother of remembering to write out cheques. There's also no
need to visit the Council's offices or send your payment by
post.
- Once the Direct Debit is set up, there's no need to do anything
else as any changes will be made automatically and you will always
be notified well in advance.
- You will always be in control - you will always know in advance
how much will be debited from your bank account and when. Your bank
or building society statements will clearly show each payment
debited from your account.
