What is a bar coded bill?
Any bill that we send you will have a ‘bar code’ on it. These are the same as shops use to read the price of products you take to the till. They make sure that you pay the correct amount and that your payment reaches us from the post office or Paypoint outlet.
What can I pay in this way?
You can use this method of payment where you have received a bar coded bill from the council for the following:
- Council Tax
- Business Rates
- Benefit Overpayments
- Sundry Debtor Invoices (eg, Adult Social Care fees, allotment charges)
