Council tax

If you are struggling to pay your council tax, the first thing to do is see if you qualify for a discount or exemption on our Discounts and exemptions pages.

If you are on a low income, whether you are working or not, check to see if you can get a reduction on our Council tax reduction pages.

If you still need help, contact us to discuss your options. We may be able to arrange a different payment agreement with you, or advise if any other help is available.

Under no circumstances should you ignore your bill or skip a payment without speaking to us.

You still have to pay your council tax while we are processing appeals, or applications for discounts, exemptions or reductions.
