Paying your Rates
Your rates bill is calculated by multiplying the business rate by your rateable value and is issued annually in April, requesting payment over 10 months from May to February.
Direct Debit is the easiest way to pay. Payments will automatically be deducted from your bank account on the 15th of each month. If you choose to pay by any other method, payment is due by the 1st of the month. If your instalments change, your monthly payments will change automatically.

You need to pay by the first of every month from 1st May 2008 to February 2009 (unless you pay by Direct Debit). If you do not wish to pay by instalments, you should make full settlement before 1st October 2008.
