Once you have set up your Direct Debit, you can relax in the knowledge that every month, your council tax will be paid correctly and on time, without you having to do anything.
You don't have to worry about getting to the bank, visiting a council office, making a call or logging on and paying online. All the worry and pressure of making your council tax payment on time is taken away.
The correct amount will automatically be debited from your bank or building society account, and if that amount should need to change, for example at the start of the new financial year we will write and let you know first.
To set up your Direct Debit all you need to do is call 020 8227 2926. You can choose to set it up over the phone instantly, or a form can be posted out to you for you to complete.
Your monthly payment can be taken on the 1, 8, 15 or 22 of each month (or nearest working day after).
Direct Debit is the only payment option that allows you to spread the cost of your council tax over 12 months.
Please note: Direct Debits cannot be made from certain types of account, for example a savings account. Please check with your bank if you are unsure.
You should check to make sure you have the correct amount of money in your account to cover the payment at this date.
Please remember that it takes time for us to set up your direct debit. You should continue to pay your council tax until we send you a notification letter.
