Benefits of paying by Direct Debit

You can sign up online for a Council Tax Direct Debit by clicking on this link.

Am I wasting my time doing one of the following tasks?

• Spending part of my free-time queuing at my Bank or Building Society to draw money out of my account
• Queuing at the Post Office / Pay Point Outlets
• Writing out a cheque and posting it to the Council 
• Paying for envelopes and stamps 
• Worrying whether that month's instalment has been paid  
• Dealing with a reminder-notice when you forget to pay

If your bank account requires more than one signature, or the Council Tax account is in the name of a company, you will need to download, print off, complete and return a paper Council Tax Direct Debit instruction, click on Council Tax Direct Debit Instruction (PDF) .
