Difficulty paying Council Tax
If you have difficulty paying your Council Tax
- Check to see if you are entitled to any Discounts, Exemptions and Benefits allowances (Council Tax reduction)
- If you currently pay over ten months, you can request to extend your council tax payment plan so that instalments end in March
- Do not ignore your debt. The sooner you get in touch, the more help we can give you
