Payment at the Post Office or PayPoint - FAQs

How will I be able to pay my bill?

In order to make payment at a Post Office or PayPoint outlet, they require the barcode provided on your current Council Tax bill. The barcode contains your personal payment details. Simply give your current Council Tax bill to the staff at the Post Office or PayPoint outlet and tell them how much you want to pay. You will be given a receipt which you should keep as a record of your payment. Look out for these logos;

Can I still use my Payment Card?

No.  From 1 April 2018 you can no longer pay your Council Tax using a payment card. You can still pay using Pay Point or at a Post Office, but you need to bring your Council Tax bill along so that the cashier can scan the barcode on it to make sure that your payment gets to your account.
