Pay your business rates

Pay business rates by Direct Debit

All the normal Direct Debit safeguards and guarantees apply when you set up an instruction online. No changes in the amount, date or frequency of a payment can be made without notifying you at least 10 working days in advance of your account being debited. In the event of any error, you are entitled to an immediate refund from your bank or building society.  

Choose to pay on 1st, 8th, 15th, 20th 22nd or 25th and choose 10 or 12 instalments per year.
