How to set up a direct debit

To set up a Direct Debit, you must have a business rates account reference.

If you haven't registered for business rates yet, please register here.

Setting up a Direct Debit allows you to;

  • Choose a payment date that suits you - 1st, 5th, 15th or 24th of the month
  • Spread your payments over 12 months (April to March) instead of the usual 10 -the number of instalments allowed will depend on the date you request the change
  • Pay automatically - so you're less likely to get reminders, final notices or summonses
  • Keep your payments up to date - if your bill changes, the monthly payment will adjust automatically

To set up a new Direct Debit or change your existing bank details or payment date, please complete the form below.
