Set up a Direct Debit

Please note: the Council Tax and Benefits self-service facility will be unavailable on Saturday 22 May for essential maintenance. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

The quickest and easiest way to pay is to set up a Direct Debit. Instalments go out each month over the year and will automatically continue when a new year begins. You need to have your bank account details and your Council Tax account reference to hand.

Please note: If you have received a summons, recovery letter or final notice then you have lost your right to pay by instalments. You will need to contact us by emailing counciltax@cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk to discuss your account.
