Stockport Council is offering Council Tax Payers the opportunity to spread their Council Tax in 12 monthly instalments.
To pay the bill over 12 months Council Tax Payers need to send their request to the Council before 1st March. This will allow the Council to include this arrangement on the annual bill for the financial year April 2013/March 2014.
Unless specifically requested otherwise, all Council Tax bills will be sent out including the usual 10 monthly instalment option.
Any requests made after the annual bills have been issued will include instalments that are apportioned to equal the number of whole months left in the financial year.
The Leader of Stockport Council, Councillor Sue Derbyshire, said: “Giving Council Tax Payers the option of spreading their bill over 12 instalments as opposed to 10 will be a real help to some people when it comes to managing their finances.”
Residents wishing to move to the 12 month instalments should contact the Council Tax Section on 0161 217 6014.
