Each financial year, a bill is sent to all households (usually in March), with the option to pay in 10 monthly installments.
If payments are not received, then recovery action is taken. This action may result in substantial costs being added to the outstanding Council Tax Bill.
If circumstances change that may result in your Council Tax being amended, then these changes must be notified to the Council Tax or the Benefit Service Offices immediately.
