Important notice
There are several ways to pay
Direct Debit
This is the easiest way to pay and means your bill will always be paid on time. Over 70,000 people in Enfield pay their Council Tax monthly by Direct Debit. You just pick a payment date that suits you (1, 11, 21 or 28 of the month) and your payment is automatically debited from your account each month.
Pay Council Tax by Direct Debit
However, if you fall behind on Council Tax payments you may lose the right to pay by instalments and have to pay the annual balance in full.
Direct Debit payments are protected by a guarantee and can be cancelled at any time if you would like to pay in a different way.

You will need to supply your Council Tax account number. It can take up to 10 working days for your payment to reach your Council Tax account.
Instalments
When you receive your first bill for each year you can ask to make your payments across 12 months, instead of the usual 10. This will mean that you will pay less each month. You can also ask for weekly payments if you get any benefits or Council Tax Support.
