There are a few ways you can pay your Council Tax.
When you receive your council tax bill, by default it will be profiled to be paid by monthly instalments in accordance with the statutory instalment scheme. Generally this means if you receive your bill at the start of the financial year the instalments will be split over 10 months from April to January. If you are issued with a bill partway through the financial year then the instalments will start from the next available month and run until February. Upon request, we can change the frequency you pay your instalments to any of the following plans:
- 12 monthly
- Weekly
- Fortnightly
- Quarterly
- Half yearly
To arrange amending the frequency of payment in respect of your ongoing council tax instalments please telephone local taxation on 01723 232378 or e-mail local.taxation@scarborough.gov.uk. Please note that the number of instalments given will be dictated by the months remaining in the financial year.
