If you are having problems paying your Council Tax, you need to contact us straight away. The sooner you let us know, the sooner we can help.

If you are on a low income or state benefits, you might qualify for Council Tax Support. This will reduce the amount of Council Tax you have to pay.

You might be eligible for a discount of your Council Tax, or you might qualify for a Council Tax exemption. 

We might also be able to make an alternative payment arrangement.
