Pay your council tax

Direct Debit

The easiest way to pay is by Direct Debit.

Set up a 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.
