Council Tax arrears

First reminder

If a payment is overdue, a reminder will be issued for the amount you need to pay.

You must bring your instalments up to date by paying the amount on the Reminder within 7 days of the date of the letter. If a payment is paid within 7 days, the instalments continue.

If you do not want to pay by direct debit there is no other payment option, and you must pay the amount outstanding.

Contact us if you cannot bring your payments up to date within 7 days. It may be possible to make different arrangements. Otherwise, a court summons can be issued for the full amount of Council Tax due for the year and an additional £80 court costs are added to your bill.
