Set up monthly direct debit payments

Sign-up to pay by direct debit with your eight-digit council tax reference number and bank account details.

Always quote the eight-digit reference number shown on the top right-hand corner of your bill, beginning with a 3.

Why use direct debit:

  • easy way to pay 
  • no need to remember to pay
  • choice of four payment dates - the 1st, 5th, 12th or 20th
  • choose to pay your annual bill over 10 or 12 months, or 11 months if you choose the 1st of the month
