Pay your Council Tax by debit or credit card

You can pay your Council Tax using a debit or credit card online or by phone.

Your Council Tax bill explains when you need to make your payments. Payment is due by monthly instalments.

For payments made by debit or credit card, you must allow extra time for the payment to reach us.

Information you will need

You will need:

  • your Council Tax account number, which you can find on your bill
  • your debit or credit card details

Pay online

Make a payment online using your credit or debit card.

In line with many other organisations, the Council has introduced added verifications to enhance the security for those making payments online.

You may be directed to a further verification page by your bank, where you will be asked to provide secondary verification. This could be:

  • a password
  • a one-time passcode (OTP)
  • a security question
