As well as paying your council tax online, you can also pay by Direct Debit or standing order, over the telephone or at any outlet displaying the Payzone logo.
Pay by Direct Debit
Setting up payment by Direct Debit is quick and easy. It allows you to choose what date of every month you would like to make payment - 1st, 8th, 15th and 25th.
Once your Direct Debit is set up, your instalments will be paid by your bank each month. You only need to set it up once and it will run every year. You do not need to cancel it.
Setting up Direct Debit is a quick and easy process. Simply follow the instructions online.
