Choose How to Pay
Making a payment to Basildon Council is becoming easier with more choices available. Pay council tax and/or rent via e-Services, a direct debit or recurring payment or pay online. More information is available below.
Setting up a Direct Debit
Direct Debits are the most convenient way to pay. Choose your payment date and relax, Basildon Council will take your payments as scheduled, so you have peace of mind your bills are being paid on time.
Payments can be made in full once a year or divided into instalments paid twice a year or 10/12 monthly instalments. Please note - if you have two unpaid Direct Debit payments in one financial year, this option will be withdrawn and you will have to pay Council Tax via a different method.
Recurring Payments are similar to a Direct Debit, with a few technical differences. Like a Direct Debit, Recurring Payments are taken on an agreed date i.e. the first of every month.
Visit the link below to find out the differences between a Direct Debit and Recurring Payment plus how to create a payment.
For more frequent payments, you may consider a direct debit or recurring payment to be more useful. Then, you have peace of mind your bills are being paid on time and you don't need reminders to go online every month.
Instead of paying online when your invoices are due, sign into e-Services for more flexibility including:
Reminders when your direct debits are due
Change your billing dates and bank details when you need to
