Please note
If you choose to pay by automatic payment, you will need to self-monitor your rates account and make sure you clear your balance by 20 October 2023 to avoid incurring a penalty.
For this reason we recommend setting up a direct debit as then your payments are calculated out across the year to 30 June 2024.
