AVDC is urging residents who have access to the internet to sign up to receive their council tax bill online.

Online bills can help residents manage their account better because they will be able to gain quick access to their bill, any time day or night, without having to wait until they receive it through the post.

Once the facility is set up, taxpayers will be able to view and receive all their future bills online and in subsequent years they will be able to look at all the bills that have been provided in this way. It will also avoid the need to keep a paper record and allow a quick and easy comparison from one year to the next.

Councillor Margaret Morgan-Owen, Cabinet Member for Resources, said: “We are asking residents to do their bit for the planet and help the council save money. For every bill we send online instead of through the post, we make a saving on stationary, postage and staff time, and we help the environment. It’s a very simple process that could save taxpayers hundreds of pounds over the next few years.”

If you would like to receive your council tax bill online, register by phone: 01296 585299, or email: counciltax@aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk with your name, address, email address and council tax account number.

The council will validate this information and send you a password so that you can see your bill online. After you have registered, you can view your bill by visiting the council’s website www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk and following the link on the homepage.

If you are the only adult in your property, you can also complete your single person’s discount review online. If you’d like more information about this service, call 01296 585299.
