Business Rate Arrears

Business Rate Arrears Payment of Business Rates should be made on the dates shown on your bill.  If you miss any payments, a reminder notice will be sent to you and the overdue amount should be paid within 7 days of the date shown on the reminder.  

Future payments must be made on or before the due date to stop further action being taken.   If payments are still overdue, you will be sent a Final Notice and the full amount due must be paid within 7 days of the date shown on the notice.   If you do not do this, you may get a summons which will mean costs being added to your account.

If you get a summons, you must pay the full amount due before the Court hearing date.  If you do not pay in full, we will ask the Magistrate to issue a Liability Order at the hearing.  There is no need for you to attend Court.
