Paying your rates
Business Rates are usually payable in monthly instalments, although in certain instances payment will be due within 14 days. Details of the payment(s) required will be shown at the bottom of your bill. If you are experiencing difficulty in making payment by the date(s) shown on your bill, or wish to arrange to make payment annually or half yearly, please contact the Council's Revenues Services by email at revenues@tauntondeane.gov.uk or by telephone on 01823 356433.
Please note: that if you fail to make payment as requested on your bill action to recover the debt may be taken.
Methods of payment
To make it as easy as possible to pay your Rates the Council offers a wide range of payment methods:
Direct debit: Making payment by direct debit will ensure that your payments are always received by the due dates. The Council will notify you at least 14 days in advance of the amounts to be deducted from your account. Payments by direct debit can be made on the 1st or the 20th of each month. To pay by direct debit please either complete the instruction on the reverse of your bill or download the  Direct Debit Mandate application form (227 KB). Please note: Completed instructions should be returned to the Council and not your bank/building society.
Online payment: You can pay your Business Rates online with a Debit card
