Council Tax

 

How to Pay Your Council Tax

 

Your Council Tax Liability is set out on the Bill that has been sent to you.

 

There is an issue with making a payment on line at the moment where the account number ends with an X.

 

If your account number ends with an X, please telephone 01622 602003 (8:30 - 4:30 Monday to Friday) or 602544 (automated 24 hour service) to make your payment rather than using the link below. We apologise for this inconvenience and will rectify the problem as soon as possible. 

 

If your account number does not end with an X you may continue to use the following link:

 

Please pay here.

 

 

Other ways to pay

 

Single Payments

If you have informed the Council that you will pay the amount due by one payment, then it must reach the Council by 30th April.

Half Yearly Payments

If you have decided to pay by two half yearly instalments, the first payment must reach the Council by 30th April and the second by 30th September.

Monthly Instalments

Where payment is to be made by monthly instalments, those instalments must reach the Council by the date(s) shown on that bill and/or accompanying documentation.

 

 

More information about paying

 

If you don't pay

Should payments not reach the Council by the due dates, proceedings for the recovery of any sum(s) outstanding will be taken immediately thereafter. Further details can be found in the Reminders and Recovery section.

Payment by Bank, Post Office & National Giro Transfers,

Where payments are made by Post Office, Bank Credit or National Giro Transfers, taxpayers should allow three working days to ensure that these are received by the due date.

To ensure that payments are made when they are due, Taxpayers are recommended to take advantage of the facility to pay monthly by Direct Debit.
