Paying your Council Tax by Direct Debit

Are you currently paying by Direct Debit? If not, why not apply today.

With direct debit

You give one simple instruction to your bank/building society and you need do nothing more. The appropriate amount is automatically transferred from your account to ours when it is due. The Council lets you know payment dates and amounts in advance, automatically amending your payments if the amount you have to pay changes. You will always be able to query a payment should you feel it is wrong or stop it altogether. You can cancel the arrangement at any time and pay by a different method.

It's the easy way to pay

• It saves you time and effort
• No queuing to pay
• No cheques to write or letters to post
• It is simpler than paying by any other method
• Control rests with you and your bank/building society manager
• It saves the Council money
• If you pay bank charges Direct Debits are cheaper than other transactions
• You have a money back guarantee
