Ways to pay your council tax

You can pay your council tax by any of the following methods:

Direct debit

This is the easiest and most convenient method of payment. The payment dates available are 1st, 5th, 15th, 24th and the end of each month. If you wish to pay by Direct Debit you can:

  • Download and complete a Direct Debit request form and return it to us.
  • Request a paper version of the form either by calling us or writing to us.
  • Set up the instruction online. Please note that if you wish to set up a Direct Debit instruction online you must comply with the following regulations:
  1. You must be the account holder and therefore the payer.
  2. You are the only person required to authorise debits from the account.

I have read and understood the above online regulations and wish to set up a secure Direct Debit instruction online.
