By logging onto www.burnley.gov.uk and clicking the ‘simply click’ section and then the relevant icons, you can check and deal with lots of things:

• Check the Council Tax banding of a property

• Use the reference number on your Council Tax bill to check your payment history, look at the breakdown of your charges and payments for any year, and look up bills and reminders you’ve been sent

• Notify the council of a change of address

• Request a council tax discount

• Set up a direct debit so that you can ensure your bill is paid on time, every time

• Do away with paper bills, by getting yourself set up for e-billing

All this can be done anytime, from your PC at home, or on the move on your tablet or smartphone.

The step is part of a wider programme by Burnley Council, with our business partner Liberata, to make it easier and more convenient to do sort things out simply whilst you are ‘online’ – saving time and money all round.
