Pay by Direct Debit
Set up a Direct Debit so your Council Tax payments are paid directly to us each month from your bank account. You don't have to remember to make your payment. You also have the reassurance of the Direct Debit guarantee.
Set up a Direct Debit by post
You can also set up a Direct Debit by post. You may need to do this, for example, if you have a joint account which requires 2 signatures or when the account is in a company name.
To set up a Direct Debit by post, download the Council Tax Direct Debit Mandate (PDF) and return to us at:
