Go on-line and save yourself time
Council Tax, Housing Benefit and Business Rates Customers, can now take advantage of our new and improved, secure self-service system:
You can view information for Council Tax, Benefits and Business Rates online. You can view payments made towards your Council Tax and Business Rates accounts and if you are a landlord you can view information relating to your tenants.
If you wish to make payments to the council, use the "Payments" link on the left.
The following Council Tax Forms can be completed on-line, even without self-service:
- Change of name - use this if your name has changed. You will need to provide proof e.g. a marriage certificate or Deed Poll. You can send this by email to counciltax@tameside.gov.uk
- Change of Address - use this to notify a change of address. If you are renting from a private landlord, you will need to provide a copy of your tenancy agreement as proof of the date for tenancy commenced
- Pay by Direct Debit - use this form to pay your Council Tax by Direct Debit
- Use this form to apply for a Single Person Discount
Other forms are available to apply for Council Tax Discounts / exemptions. Please print, complete and return to counciltax@tameside.gov.uk.
Paying Council Tax for a property does not mean that you are automatically on the Electoral Register. If you have not already registered to vote, go online at www.gov.uk/register-to-vote.
