Business rates billing and e-billing

Every property shown on the Valuation List for this Borough will receive an annual bill which is usually issued in March for the following financial year commencing 1 April. Every ratepayer has a legal entitlement to pay their annual liability on a 10-monthly cycle. However, the Government has put in place regulations that allow businesses to require their local authority to enable payments to be made through 12 monthly instalments. 

If the ratepayer changes during a financial year the annual liability will be apportioned on a pro rata basis based on the number of days of liability.

The Council recommends payment by Direct Debit and this can be arranged by using Connect self service (opens new window) or you can print and use the Direct Debit mandate and forward to the Council offices.
