If you miss your Business Rates payment

You will be sent a reminder notice if you have not paid the instalments as advised on your business rates bill.

To bring your payments up to date you must pay the amount shown on the reminder within 7 days. If you do not do this you will lose the right to pay by instalments and the full balance for the remainder of the year will become due after a further 7 days.

 

If you have made payment in the last few days then you should phone to confirm payment has been received. 

To ensure your payment is received on time, you must allow 4 days for payments made at a bank or 10 days for payments made at a post office to be credited to your business rates account.  If you are making payments for more than one business rate account a detailed payment schedule must be enclosed with each monthly payment. 

 

You will only receive one reminder and/or final notice in the financial year.
