Council tax Direct Debits taken late

The Direct Debit council tax instalments for 1 July 2024 have been collected from bank accounts on 2 July 2024 in error.

We apologise for any inconvenience. If you've incurred bank charges as a result, please provide proof from the bank and submit it to us for reimbursement.

Haven't had your council tax bill?

If you've got a MyLewisham account and have registered to view your council tax account online, you won't get a paper copy of your annual bill – it'll be available to view online instead.

If you don't have MyLewisham account, you'll get a paper copy in the post as normal.

If you are a landlord or letting agent, you need to keep us informed of all tenancy changes as soon as they happen. This allows us to send accurate council tax bills out and to the correct people.

There are two circumstances when you are responsible for paying the council tax:

when your property is empty
if your property is rented to several people as a HMO
