Payments 

Direct Debit is the easiest way to pay your Business Rates. Payments can be made on either the 1st, 15th or the 27th of each month.

The Council is able to set up Direct Debits for Business Rates payments over the telephone. All you have to do is telephone the Business Rates Section and ensure that you have your Bank Account Number and Sort Code Number with you when you call (these are usually shown in your cheque book). We will be able to set up your Direct Debit immediately if you have the authority to do so as an authorised signatory on the account.

Should you not wish to use the Paperless Direct Debit facility, either print a Direct Debit Instruction (PDF, 79KB) or telephone the Business Rates Section and a form will be sent to you in the post.  Please return the completed form to the Council and not to your bank.

On-line payments are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the Non-Domestic Rates Online Payment page using your debit or credit card.

Automated Telephone Payments are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by debit or credit.

 

Just telephone 0300 123 5039 and with your Non-Domestic Rates Account Reference Number.

You can pay by cash at any shop in the borough that displays the PayPoint symbol.

You must ensure you take your bill with you as the barcode on the reverse of it is used to process the payment.

 

Any Post Office will accept payment by debit card, cheque or cash. Cheques should be made payable to 'Post Office Limited'.

Sort Code 08-90-68      Account Number 61602230

Please write your Non-Domestic Rates Account Reference Number on the back of the cheque or postal order.
