Paying business rates
Pay business rates by Direct Debit
Direct Debit is easy to set up and helps spread the cost of your business rates bill. There are three Direct Debit collection dates each month. Choose from the 7th, 15th, or 28th of each month as your preferred collection date and funds will be collected on or around your chosen date.
You can also set up your Direct Debit for a single payment and your payment will be taken automatically every year.
Once a Direct Debit has been set up for a rate account, it will continue each year, without further action from you. If you make monthly Direct Debit payments and miss two consecutive months, the facility may be withdrawn and you will have to make alternative payment arrangements.
