Direct Debit is the easiest way to pay your bill. We offer customers a choice of four dates each month when they can pay. These are the 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd. You can also ask to pay over 12 months instead of 10, or however many months remain in the year.

Please note that if you have Council Tax arrears we will set instalments dividing the total balance outstanding by the number of remaining months in the financial year.

You are also protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee, which promises that you will get your money back straight away if anything goes wrong.
