You need to make sure the details match exactly on your most recent Council Tax bill even if we have misspelt your name. When you have registered you will be able to amend your name.

You must also only use the first 10 digits of your Council Tax account number as shown on your bill.

What is the online reference key?

The online reference key is a series of numbers and letters printed on your bill.  You will need to use the online reference key printed on your most recent bill. If you are unable to find your latest bill or if there is an issue with your online reference key email counciltax@eastdunbarton.gov.uk for a new bill.

It says I have not completed a sufficient amount of security questions?

The online reference key is a mandatory requirement needed for registration. This will be located on your most recent bill.

There is more than one liable person for Council Tax, why can I not see their name?

The online service is for individual use. If there is more than one liable person they will need to create their own account if they wish to update their details.

What are online bills/paperless billing?

Online bills are an electronic version of our paper bill. The format is slightly different to our paper bill but you can still use our electronic bill for identification purposes.

Online billing reduces the amount of paper we use. If you sign up to the service we will send you an email to let you know when a new bill is available.
