Payment dates

In these uncertain economic times the successful collection of council tax is a key objective. 

One tool that has proved very effective for local authorities is the provision of a range of payment dates. By encouraging residents to select a date on which they typically have maximum funds in their account, the level of unpaid bills is reduced. In addition, providing low income families with the option of weekly, rather than monthly payments, can help them to manage their funds much more effectively.
