Ways to Pay

You can pay by:

Direct Debit

Discover the benefits of paying by Direct Debit.

Setting up a Direct Debit could not be easier.

Whichever way you choose please have the following information ready:

  • Your Business Rates Reference number (shown on your bill)
  • your Bank Account details

Setting up your Direct Debit will mean:

  • No queuing, no paperwork, no postage, no cheques to write.
  • You will not be charged by us for paying by this method. Any Bank or Building Society charges should be less than for a cheque payment or Standing Order.
  • Your arrangement is renewed automatically each year.
  • You are still in complete control although we do all the work for you.
  • You will still receive your regular bills although these will be for information only.
  • Regular budgeted payment will be collected on the 21st of each month.

Please note: if you change your Business premises address you will have to complete a new Direct Debit instruction.
