Your Council Tax bill is issued at the start of each financial year and instalments are set over 10 months to finish before the end of the financial year which runs 1st April to 31st March each year.
You can pay your council tax in full if you prefer or you can arrange for instalments to suit when you receive your income. As well as monthly instalments, you can apply to have instalments that are weekly, fortnightly or half yearly.
