Pay Council Tax

Pay by Direct Debit

Set up now

If you pay by Direct Debit we will take your payments directly from your bank or building society account so you will not have to remember to pay.

We'll take the payment on day 1, 8, 15, 21 or 28 every month, whichever you prefer. You will be given at least 14 days notice before your first payment is due.  

You can also choose to spread your payments over 10 or 12 months.
