Newark & Sherwood District Council

You can pay your council tax by any of the following methods:

Paying your council tax by direct debit

Paying by direct debit helps us keep our collection costs down, which helps us keep your Council Tax bill lower. You can pay your council tax by direct debit on the 1st, 8th, 15^th, 21st or 28th of the month.

Setting up a direct debit is easy. Simply telephone the council tax office to supply your bank details, or if you wish to make any changes, and our staff will do the rest for you.

Alternatively you can download a Council Tax Direct Debit Form (PDF File, 131kb)  .

Paying your council tax by telephone

You can pay over the phone using a debit card.  Please call 01636 650000 during office hours, or use our 24 hour telephone payments line, by phoning 01636 655978.
