Direct debit
The easiest way to set up a Direct Debit payment is through My Account. You can choose to pay on either the 1st or 15th day of the month and you only have to set up your payment once. Protection is maintained through the direct debit guarantee that offers an immediate refund in the event of an error, 10 working days notice of the account being debited and the right to cancel at any time.
Alternatively, you can complete this direct debit form and email to: businessratesteam@ealing.gov.uk.
Business rates instalments
Payment of business rate bills is usually set on a 10-monthly cycle. However, you also have the option of spreading payments over 12 months.
Please note that 12 instalments will only apply to your annual bill sent before the start of April, when issued with enough time to include an April instalment. For bills issued later in the year, you will automatically receive the maximum number of instalments available through to the following March.
You can also pay for the whole year at once or by two half-yearly instalments.

Be wary of fraudsters
We have been made aware of a number of scams that are circulating for example people offering to help businesses access grant funding for a fee, or contacting businesses claiming to be from official sources stating that they need to make card payments. Businesses should be wary of scammers and suspicious emails and only provide organisations that you trust and have given consent to, your personal or financial details.
We will only take your card payments by prearrangement with you.
