The amount required to meet your property's rates is deducted from your bank account weekly, fortnightly, monthly, six monthly by instalment, or once a year.
- Weekly - The amount is taken each Wednesday. Calculated to clear by the end of the rating year (30 June).
- Fortnightly - The amount is taken every 2nd Wednesday. Calculated to clear by the end of the rating year (30 June).
- Monthly - The amount is taken on the 20th of each month. Calculated to clear by the end of the rating year (30 June).
- Six monthly by instalment - Each instalment amount taken on the due dates as per your instalment notice (usually September and March).
- Annually - The total amount taken in one lump sum at the first instalment date usually September. This entitles you to receive a 3% discount.
If you have a direct debit period payment set up (weekly, fortnightly or monthly) there will be no penalty charged at the due dates.
You can set up a direct debit payment authority online, or by completing a direct debit form (PDF, 133KB).
