Council Tax
It’s important that, if your circumstances haven’t changed, you continue to pay your Council Tax. Keep up your direct debit payments, or payment plan, as detailed on your bill. Your Council Tax pays for the essential services we provide for every Edinburgh resident.
Get help with paying
Let us know if you’re going to miss a payment or not pay the full amount. If you have any questions you can email income and benefits.
