Setting up or changing a payment method

Council Tax is normally payable by monthly instalments in the 10 months from April to the following January each year. A full list of the methods of payment that the Council can accept is on the back of your bill.

Unless you pay by direct debit, where you have a choice of 3 payment dates in the month, all instalments are due on the 1st of the month. The choice of dates available for direct debit payments are the 1st, 10th and 20th of each month.

The amount that you need to pay each month and your chosen method of payment will be shown in the bottom box on the front of your bill.

If your bill is sent to you part way through the year, your instalment payments will start in the following month providing we can give you at least 14 days notice before your first payment is due. If we cannot give you 14 days notice then your first payment will not be due until the 2nd month after your bill is issued.
