Reasons to pay by Direct Debit

  • Never miss your payments
  • Avoid charges for arrears or court costs
  • We will not take more than the amount you have to pay
  • There is no need to cancel the direct debit and set up a new one each year.
  • Direct Debit is the most efficient and cost effective way to collect council tax, and keeps our administration costs down.
