Offline ways to pay council tax

Creating a direct debit/recurring payment or paying online are the most convenient ways to pay invoices. However, offline payment methods are available including paying cash at your bank or the Post Office.

We recommend paying online but you can make a cash payment at your bank if you need to, as below. 

Cash payment at the bank

Please make your council tax payment to the following account:

  • Sort code 30-80-12
  • Account number 1831 7060

Please remember to include your correct reference number, so we can make sure your account is credited. Depending on what you're paying, this is:

  • an invoice number from Basildon Council
  • a Council Tax account reference number
  • a Council housing/garage rent reference number

Post Office or PayPoint

Take your Council Tax bill to any Post Office or PayPoint outlet and scan the barcode on your bill.
