Pay your council tax by Direct Debit or card
Before you start
You'll need your council tax reference number. You can find this on your bill.
If you've had a council tax bill from us before, get a copy of your bill. But if you've just moved in, here's what to do:
Moved to a new home?
- Check if we're your council on gov.uk - enter your postcode.
- Tell us your new address first. We'll send your first bill within six weeks.
Pay by Direct Debit - the easiest way
Set up once and we do the rest. Payments go out automatically. You can split your bill across the year.
Important:
- Only use this button to set up a Direct Debit for yourself. There is a different process if you need to pay for someone else or pay for a business.
- Your bank needs 14 days to set this up.
- The earlier you start (from April), the more months you can split your payments across.
Change your Direct Debit details
Need to change your payment date or bank details?
- Click 'Set up Direct Debit', just like if you were setting it up for the first time.
- Fill in your new details.
- We'll update your payments.
Pay by card
Pay with debit or credit card. Keep track of your payments, so you remember when to pay.
