methods of payment and if you wish to pay this way you can:
- Telephone the Council Tax Office on (01423) 556677 with details of your bank account number and branch sort code. You will not need to complete any forms
- Complete the instruction on the front of your rates bill and send it to Revenue Services, PO Box 13, Council Offices, Harrogate, HG1 2SD

The Direct Debit Guarantee
- This guarantee is offered by all Banks and Building Societies that take part in the Direct Debit Scheme. The efficiency and security of the Scheme is monitored and protected by your own Bank or Building Society
- If the amounts to be paid or the payment dates change, Harrogate Borough Council will notify you 10 working days in advance of your account being debited or as otherwise agreed
- If an error is made by Harrogate Borough Council or your Bank or Building Society, you are guaranteed a full and immediate refund from your branch of the amount paid
- You can cancel a Direct Debit at any time by writing to your Bank or Building Society. Please also send a copy of your letter to us
