We are carrying out maintenance work on our online system for Council Tax, Benefits and Business Rates.
This maintenance will take place from Monday 20 April at 8:30am to Tuesday 21 April at 5:30pm. This maintenance may prevent you from accessing your account.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
In the Autumn 2025 Budget, the government announced changes to how Business Rates are calculated, which will affect your future bills. They have also applied a Transitional Relief Supplement to all bills, but some businesses will not have to pay it. You can find a full explanation of the Transitional Relief Supplement.
