There are various ways to pay your council tax.
Direct debit
The easiest way to pay is by direct debit.
You'll need the online key code from your council tax bill to log-in to your account (through Account Details), follow the instructions from there.
Or, fill in and return a direct debit form [PDF, 95Kb] or call 01223 457790 to set up a direct debit.
You can pay on either the 5th or 15th of the month.
Please continue to make payment by your current method until you receive a new bill showing details of the direct debit payments.
If you're not sure where to find your key code, you can find this on our Your council tax bill explained page.
