If we have not received your monthly instalment on or before the payment dates as stated on your bill, we will send you a reminder. The reminder will ask for payment within a further seven days.

Payment must reach us within that 7 days.

You will only get one reminder of late payment in any financial year.

If you pay that reminder on time, but then don’t pay on time in any of the remaining months, we will cancel your right to pay by monthly Instalments, and send you a final notice requesting the remaining balance for the year is paid within a seven day period.

Business Rates - Reminder FAQ

What will happen if I do not pay the reminder within the stated time?

We will cancel your right to pay monthly, the remaining balance for the year will be payable immediately, and if you do not pay that balance within a certain time, a summons notice will be issued.

What if I have an outstanding appeal against valuation?

Payments should still be made in accordance with your instalment schedule.
