Ways to pay your Council Tax bill, support if you’re on a low income, what to do about an unpaid bill and how to contact the North Lincolnshire Council Tax team.

Direct Debit – the quickest and easiest way to pay your Council Tax

Direct Debit is usually the easiest way to pay and you are protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee. Direct Debit ensures regular payments are made on your choice of 1st, 8th, 15th or 22nd day of the month.

You can set up a Direct Debit over the phone. If you are the bank account holder and the bill you want to pay is in your name, telephone us on 0300 3030164 (option 5). Make sure you have your Council Tax Account Reference number from your bill, your bank account details to hand.

If you prefer, you can print out and complete a Direct Debit instruction [PDF, 53Kb] and return it to the address on the form, or email it to counciltax@northlincs.gov.uk

Council Tax Support

You can apply to get money off your Council Tax bill if you are on a low income or claiming benefits.

Apply for Council Tax Support and Housing Benefit

You only need to fill in one form to apply for both Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support together.

If you just want to claim either Housing Benefit or Council Tax Support, then this is still the form you need to use.

Visit our Housing Benefit and Council Tax Support page which explains how to submit an application form and the supporting evidence you will need.

The amount of support will depend on the income and circumstances of each individual.

Each year our Council Tax Support Scheme is reviewed. Claims are restricted to a maximum of a Band B charge. This means that if you live in a property rated as Band C or above, your will claim will be assessed against the charge for a Band B property in your area.
