On 28 October 2026, the government announced that people in Council Tax Bands A to D will receive a £100 payment in their bank accounts. We will provide this in January 2027 with the details we have in the Council Tax system. We currently have no more detail than this and there may be exceptions, which we will outline when we receive the detailed guidance. As soon as we have more detail, we will provide an update.
Pay your Council Tax over 12 months
We usually divide your Council Tax bill for the year into 10 instalments.
You can request to pay your Council Tax over 12 months, instead of 10.
The total Council Tax you pay over the year will stay the same, but you will be paying less each month.
To request to pay your Council Tax over 12 months, you will need:
- your Council Tax account number
- your name, address and contact details
Once we receive your request, we recalculate your bill and advise you of your new monthly payment amount.
If you pay by Direct Debit, we will take the new monthly amount on the next payment.
If you move into your property part way through the year, we can spread your instalments over the months remaining in the financial year.
