Pay business rates

To pay business rates, you'll need your business rates account number (this is your 'payment reference number' and can be found on your bill).

Pay by Direct Debit

Paying for your business rates by Direct Debit is the most secure and easiest way, avoiding late payments.

Paying your business rates by Direct Debit means:

your payments are protected by Direct Debit Guarantee
payments are taken automatically but you can cancel at any time
you can choose from 3 different payment days - 1st, 15th or 28th of the month, and pay over 10 months or 12 months
you can amend the Direct Debit you already have with us by submitting a new one. You will need to do this more than 5 working days before the payment is due or we could take your old Direct Debit amount on your old payment date. Any new Direct Debit instruction from you will cancel the previous instruction we hold.

If you want to cancel your Direct Debit, contact your bank and cancel it directly with them.

To pay online by debit or credit card, you’ll need:
