Problems paying your Council Tax

If you're having problems paying your monthly Council Tax instalments, you could:

• spread your monthly payments over 12 months instead of the standard 10 months
• see if you qualify for a Council Tax discount, reduction or exemption
• check out our Here to Help pages – support includes:
  • identifying if you are entitled to any additional income
  • debt and budgeting advice
  • access to other forms of financial assistance

If you do not pay your Council Tax, we will start by sending you reminders and final notices. Next we move on to legal proceedings, which will incur additional costs. You can avoid this by getting in touch as soon as you start to have difficulty paying. Find out what happens if you do not pay your Council Tax.
