If you receive a final notice, you will need to pay the full amount owed for the whole year, unless you choose to set up a direct debit. You need to do this within 7 days of the date on your final notice to avoid further recovery action.
You need to make sure that you pay your bill in plenty of time, as payments take a minimum of 24 hours to reach your council tax account.
How to pay
You can also make payment using all major credit and debit cards by phoning our 24 hour automated payment line 0345 129 4858.
Direct Debit
Setting up a direct debit is the only way to continue paying by instalments once a final notice has been issued. This is classed as a 'special arrangement', and a letter will be sent to you to confirm this.
