How to Pay

NDR (business rates) is calculated on a daily basis for the period 1 April to 31 March and can be paid in full when the bill is received at the start of the billing year or in 10 monthly instalments from April to January.

If a ratepayer’s bill is calculated after the billing year has started, then the number of instalments may be fewer than ten, dependent on the time of year.
