Telephone
We accept most debit cards and credit cards, simply ring our phone number 0300 1234 105. Please make sure you have your bill or invoice number as you will need this to make a payment.
In Person
You can pay most bills at the Library or Carn Gwaval (Sports Hall) reception. Please make sure you have your bill or invoice number as you will need this to make a payment.
Online
Online payments are now available for the following council bills:
- Council Tax
- Non-domestic rates (also known as business rates)
- Housing Benefit overpayments
- Sundry debts (where a payment has been missed and must be paid to the council at a later date)
To pay one of the above bills online, visit our Isles of Scilly Online Payments webpage.
Most major credit or debit cards are accepted (not Diners Card or American Express). All online card payments are protected by Transport Layer Security (TLS), as recommended by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council and are directly processed using the Pay360 by Capita service.
If you experience any problems when trying to make an online payment, please call the relevant number on the bill you are trying to pay.
