Paying your business rates
Pay by direct debit and you have a choice of
payment dates - 1st, 15th or 25th of the month. Additionally
you are allowed to pay in twelve instalments, which reduces the
monthly amount you need to pay. Cash payers must pay their
bill in ten instalments.
If you have not yet opted for Direct Debit, you can do so by
downloading the latest Direct Debit Instruction, or contact the
Business Rates Team who will be happy to post one out.
Contact us by telephone on 01992 785584 or by e-mail nndr@broxbourne.gov.uk.
Paying by Direct Debit means you are allowed twelve instalments,
which reduces the monthly amount you need to pay.
Other ways to pay
You can pay bills
online through this website. If you have an account
with a UK bank or building society, and you have a Visa/Visa
Electron, Solo or Maestro debit card, you can make a
payment.
Simple instructions
You will need a valid debit card
for this service. Please note that we do not accept credit
cards for payment of business rates.
Our online payment system
uses a 'pop up' window as part of the functionality, so if you have
a 'pop up blocker' installed on your PC you will need to
temporarily switch this off to make a payment. This can be
achieved simply by holding down the CTRL key on your keyboard
whilst clicking the link.
