Scam alert
We have become aware that some companies have contacted citizens offering to pay their Council Tax or Business Rates accounts on their behalf, and claiming to offer a discount on sums owed. We do not offer any discounts for paying on time or in full.
These messages and offers can seem very convincing but you should avoid them. If you think you have been a victim of a fraud, contact . Also ask for advice before handing over any money for a service.
