step three - council tax

Understanding Council Tax

If you’re an adult and not in full-time education, or covered by another exemption or relief, you’ll need to pay Council Tax. This is paid to the local council for the area where you live.

To pay Council Tax, simply contact your local council. They’ll register you, send your Council Tax bill, and explain how and when to pay.

If you move home or to a new area, let your local council know - or contact the council for your new area.
