Find out how you can pay business rates in the Ryedale area and how to inform us of a change in your circumstances.
New businesses must contact us in order to set up a new business rate account.
Use our secure online payment system to pay directly into our account. We accept most credit and debit cards except American Express, Diners Club or JCB. You will need your 8 digit business rates account number to make a payment.
We are currently in the process of moving our revenues and benefits databases. During this time, our systems are closed down and we are therefore unable to set up any new Direct Debit instructions.
We would ask that you temporarily make payments by other methods as detailed on the back of your most recently issued bill. One option is to pay your business rates online each month.
Our online Direct Debit form will be available again from 23 June 2025.
Pay over the phone by calling our free 24 hour telephone line. You will need your credit or debit card details and your account reference number.
You can pay by cash at any Post Office or retail outlet where you see the PayPoint symbol. Take your bill with you as you will need the unique barcode printed on the front to make your payment.
Visit the Post Office website to find your nearest branch.
Visit the PayPoint website to find your nearest PayPoint outlet.
