Direct Debit

By far the best way to pay Council Tax is by Direct Debit and now you don't even need to complete any forms to do so. Just call (0115) 915 4851 and have your bank details ready. If you prefer, you can print a mandate which can be returned in the post. Once we have received your instruction, we will make arrangements with your bank and send you a revised bill. The first monthly instalment under the Direct Debit plan will always be at least 10 working days after we send you the bill.
