Ways to pay your council tax bill

Council tax instalments

We issue council tax bills for the financial year in March ready for payment from April. Your monthly payment date will be on 1st of each month unless you have opted to pay by Direct Debit. Paying by Direct Debit gives you the choice of 28 payment dates. 

You can make council tax payments weekly, fortnightly or monthly. If you opt to pay monthly the instalments are due over 10 months from April through to January.

You can also request to pay over 12 months. Bills issued part way through the financial year are not given 12 months. Instead we will spread the instalments over the remaining months until March. This will reduce the amount you pay each month.

You may not want to pay by Direct Debit but would like to spread your instalments until March. If so, please complete the form below:
