Other ways to pay Council Tax

Payment by standing order

The details you'll need to set up a standing order are:

Account: Middlesbrough Council Income Account

Sort code: 54-10-04

Account number: 94586489

You'll also need your Fund Reference, which is your 'Account No.' (found on the top right of your Council Tax bill) with 'CT' at the front - e.g. CT00000000000X. If you're finding it hard to understand your bill, have a look at the 'Council Tax bill explained' page.

Payment by Post Office or PayPoint

Payments are also accepted free of charge at any Post Office or establishment displaying the PayPoint logo. You'll need to take your invoice, which shows the barcode on the front, with you. A separate receipt will be provided which you should keep as proof of payment.

If you pay by cheque at a Post Office, the cheque should be crossed and made payable to 'Post Office Counters Ltd'.

Find your nearest Post Office or find your nearest PayPoint.

Payment by personal visit

You can pay by taking your invoice and your payment to the Customer Centre at Middlesbrough House. The cash office is open on Tuesdays and Fridays (9am to 3pm).

Post-dated and third party cheques, or cheques on non-standard stationary, won't be accepted. Please state your invoice number or Council Tax account number when sending payment. We aren't responsible for payments lost in the post.
