Business Rates - Direct debit scheme
Special offer for new customers

With a new business comes new/increased expenses.
  • are your finances stretched to the limit after your move?
  • are you tired of sending cheques each month?
We can save you time and money (on postage) by collecting your Business Rates by direct debit.

As a special introductory offer to new occupiers we will:
  • spread your first instalment over the rest of the financial year
  • add your first instalment to the next intalment, thus deferring your payments by one month

You can cancel a direct debit at anytime, by writing to your bank or building society. Please also send a copy of your letter to us.

The Direct Debit guarantee This guarantee is offered by all banks and Building Societies that take part in the Direct Debit scheme. The efficiency and security of the scheme is monitored and protected by your own bank or Building Society. If the amounts to be paid or the payment dates change, you will be told of this in advance by at least (14 days) as agreed. If an error is made by us or your bank/Building Society, you are guaranteed a full and immediate refund from your branch of the amount paid.
