How to pay your business rates

You can pay your business rates:

  • by direct debit
  • by standing order
  • online or by telephone

Direct debit

We recommend paying your business rates by direct debit. This will save you time and could save you money.

Payments are made over 10 months, from 1 April to 1 January. This is based on a full year's bill issued in March. Your bill and instalments will be adjusted if you start paying business rates later in the year.

You have the option to pay over 12 months instead of 10. The number of months depends on when you registered. You can set up a direct debit online.

Standing order

You can set up a standing order to pay your business rates. Your business rates account number will need to be included with every payment. Our bank details are:
