Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

I have tried to register my Council Tax account using the account/payment reference on my paper council tax bill, why is it not working?

Here are a few things you can try:

1. Check that you are using the correct reference number on your paper council tax bill. You need to use the number that says: Account/payment reference no. You will need to enter the first seven digits of this number
2. Check that your address is correct by clicking on your account (top right hand corner of the menu bar) and going to ‘My Details’ then ‘My Contact Details’ and then selecting ‘Update contact details’. Use the postcode search to find your address – select your address from the dropdown menu and ‘Save Contact Details’.
