Payment Holiday*

If you pay over 10 monthly instalments, you can request a payment holiday. You can choose any months for your payment holiday, e.g. August & December (school holidays & Christmas), and your payment holiday can be a maximum of 2 months. This may help to budget for particular months where you may be more financially stretched. 

Please note that any change in your liability may result in the cancellation of your payment holidays and you may need to contact us to set it up again. For more information, call 01268 882200 option 1.

If you are already paying by direct debit and wish to change to the payment holiday option, please email counciltax@castlepoint.gov.uk preferably with your payment reference number (the number starts with 41 and will be 10 digits long) or name and address and the two months you wish to have your payment holiday for.
