Non-domestic business rate (NNDR) bills are payable by monthly instalments. This is on the condition that you pay each instalment by the due date shown on the bill. Failure to pay by the due date will result in recovery action being taken. The right to pay by instalments may be withdrawn and the full balance may become payable immediately.
You can pay non-domestic business rate bills in full by the first instalment date shown. You can pay half-yearly making the first payment on the first instalment date and the second instalment on, or before, 1 September each year.
1. Direct Debit - the easy way to pay your bill
