Alternatively, you can pay your council tax by using one of the following methods.

By direct debit

A safe, cost-effective easy way to pay. Compared to other payment methods, monthly direct debiting offers you the following advantages:

• Saves you time – the amount automatically changes each year without you having to do anything, and you'll be notified at least 14 days before the first payment date.
• Saves you money – no phone calls to make when payment is due.
• Lower administration costs – it's the cheapest way to administer payments.
• Gives you peace of mind – your bank/building society makes sure your bill is paid on time.
• Gives you a full guarantee against errors.

By phone with a debit or credit card (24 hours a day)

Simply ring 0345 678 9009 when a payment is due. Please make sure you have your 13-digit council tax account number and debit or credit card ready when calling.
