Switching to paperless Council Tax bills is a smart and convenient choice that benefits both you and the environment. By going paperless, you can manage your Council Tax and benefits quickly and easily from anywhere, at any time, on any device. With an online account, you’ll have instant access to your Council Tax bills and benefit award letters, allowing you to view, download, or print them whenever needed. It’s also easy to update your address, apply for a single person discount, or track the progress of any changes you’ve made.
Making the switch doesn’t just save time—it saves resources. By reducing our reliance on printed bills, we cut down on carbon emissions and save over £1.00 for every letter or bill we no longer need to send by post. These savings allow us to reinvest in the services that matter most to our community while also contributing to our goal of becoming carbon neutral.
Councillor Marc Frost, Portfolio Holder for Corporate Services, commented: “Signing up for paperless billing is quick and straightforward. All you need is your personal information, an email address, and your Council Tax bill. Once you’ve registered for an online account, you’ll no longer receive paper bills in the post. Instead, we’ll send you an email notification whenever a new bill is available to view online.”
“By switching to paperless Council Tax bills, you’ll enjoy a faster, more efficient way to manage your finances while doing your part to protect the environment.”
