The total amount of business rates due for the year is on the front of your bill.

Business rates are usually paid in 10 monthly instalments from April to January. If you prefer to pay over 12 months, from April to March, you can apply to pay business rates in 12 instalments.

Payments must reach us by the 1st of each month.

You can also pay for the full year, but you must do so before the first instalment is due.

You can pay by the following methods:
