Request to pay Council Tax by twelve monthly instalments
The Government has amended Council Tax legislation so as to enable Council Tax payers to pay their monthly instalments over the whole financial year instead of the previous ten month scheme.
If you already pay by Direct Debit your deductions will be amended automatically to collect the new instalment amounts.
Use the online form to Request to pay Council Tax by twelve monthly instalments.

How your money is spent
Each year Calderdale Council is obliged to publish detailed information on the Council's spending and performance in relation to Council Tax. Previously you would have received this information in a booklet along with your annual Council tax bill. The government now allows Local Authorities to publish this information on our website to significantly reduce costs.
