Paying your Council Tax in 12 instalments

If you prefer to spread your Council Tax payments over 12 months rather than the usual 10, you can make a request using this form.

You will need

• Your Council Tax account number
• Your bank details and monthly payment date - the 1st or 18th of each month - these options are only available if you choose to pay by Direct Debit

What happens next

We will set up the instalments for you. If your current bill doesn't show 12 monthly instalments, we'll send you an amended bill confirming your new instalments as soon as we can.

If we need more information we will contact you.

This arrangement will be put in place indefinitely. If you want to change back to 10 instalments, please contact us.

Late requests

If you apply after April, your instalments will be spread over the remaining months of the year until March.

When your next annual bill is issued, you will automatically receive the full 12 month instalments.
