How is Council Tax collected?

Council Tax is collected by District Councils.

Your District Council:

• sends out your Council Tax bill
• works out if you are entitled to any discounts or benefits
• collects your Council Tax, either through Direct Debits, paying in person, telephone payments – there are lots of ways to pay.
• offers advice if you are having trouble paying your Council Tax

If you have any questions about paying your Council Tax, then your District Council will be able to help.

Once the money has been collected, your District Council keeps its share of the money, and distributes the rest to:

• Nottinghamshire County Council
• Nottinghamshire Police Authority
• Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service
• your Parish or Town Council (if you have one)
