Council Tax Payment Options

• Council Tax Payment Form Online

By Direct Debit
Direct Debit is the easiest way for you to pay your Council Tax.  The benefits are:

• You do not have to queue at payment offices.
• You do not have any cheques to write.
• There are no standing orders to renew.
• It is a lot safer than cash.
• It is also cheaper and easier for the Council to administer and this helps to keep Council Tax bills down.

If you have not paid your Council Tax by Direct Debit in the past, why not start now. Print off the Direct Debit form then complete (making sure to include your Council Tax Account Reference Number, which can be found on your Council Tax bill) and return to the Council Offices at the address given on the form.

                    
By Post
Cheques are to be made payable to South Bucks District Council and sent together with a payment slip from your payment book completed to show the amount you are paying. A receipt will only be issued if specifically requested. Please do NOT send cash through the post.

In Person
Payment can be made during normal office opening hours though our automated deposit machine please ensure you have your account reference available.

New occupiers may request a payment book from the Council Tax team by telephoning 01895 837500 or by e-mail at ctax@southbucks.gov.uk

At any Bank or Post Office
Payment can be made at any Bank or Post Office by completing a slip in your monthly payment book and passing it together with your payment to the cashier. The Bank or Post Office may make a charge for these transactions.

Homebanking through the Internet
Payments can be made through the homebanking services provided by banks and building societies. When using this method, it is extremely important that you quote the Council Tax account number (a seven digit number commencing with a 1 – 2 as shown on your bill).
