Council Tax

Council Tax is a yearly charge that we normally ask you to pay over ten instalments beginning in April, unless other arrangements have been made.

From April 2013 you may pay over 12 monthly instalments (April-March) provided you ask us in writing or by email, before 16 April. All payments in future years will continue over 12 monthly instalments.

We will always give you 14 days notice before instalments are due to begin, your Council Tax bill clearly states the instalment dates and the amounts you need to pay to clear the bill in the year.

You can pay your Council Tax in a number of ways, the Councils preferred method is by Direct Debit.
