How to pay business rates
Direct Debit
If you choose to pay by Direct Debit your payment will be taken on the first of each month.
If you're the bank account holder and the bill you want to pay is in your name, you can set up a Direct Debit online or print off the Direct Debit mandate and return to:

Instalments
Business rates are usually paid over 10 monthly instalments, from April to January.
You can choose to pay in 12 monthly instalments from April to March, instead. If you'd like to do this, email localtaxation@rutland.gov.uk.
If you receive your bill later in the year, you may be given fewer instalments, to reflect the remaining months left in the financial year.
