Under legislation all Council Tax are entitled to pay their bill by ten monthly instalments but each local authority can determine what date of the month the instalments are due. Daventry District Council has set their payment date as 1st of each month. If you wish to pay half yearly you can do this by paying the first 5 instalments by April 1st and the other 5 by September 1st.
Direct Debit
This is the authority's preferred method of payment and if you chose to pay by Direct Debit you can change your payment date to the 1st; 8th or 15th of the month. This means that if it suits your finances you can pay later than the 1st of the month as well as having the added peace of mind which direct debit brings.
