There is a payment kiosk available at the Surrey Heath Borough Council offices. This gives customers the ability to make automated payments for any Council bill. It takes cash, credit card or debit card payments and will post the payment directly to the customer's account providing a simple secure method of bill remittance.
Your business rates bill will explain when you need to make your payments. Payment will generally be by monthly instalments due on or by the second of the month.
Direct debit payments will be credited to your business rates account the next working day.
For all other payments you must allow extra time for the payment to reach us. Payments made through a bank or Post Office can take up to six working days to be received by the Council. Please bear this in mind or you could receive a reminder.
