Payment Difficulties

- Discuss flexible payment arrangements
We will make every effort to accommodate your situation within the legislative guidelines provided.
The
Recovery process flowchart (PDF format, link opens in new window) outlines the recovery process used with regard to business rates and includes the potential costs, which can be accrued due to
non-payment. This chart has not been provided solely as a warning to ratepayers, but can be used as a tool to avoid potential recovery action and the significant costs involved.
