Ways to Pay
Switch your Drainage Rate to Direct Debit (currently Axe Brue & Parrett IDB only)
Make your life easier by paying your Drainage Rate Demand by Direct Debit. It is the most convenient way to pay your rate demand and gives you peace of mind that your rate demand will be paid on time, every year, with no missed payments. Ensuring your rate demand is paid by Direct Debit will eliminate the risk of legal action and avoid additional fees incurred for non-payment and everything is protected by the Direct Debit Guarantee.
Simply make the switch to Direct Debit by returning the completed mandate and signed land schedule in the reply paid envelope. Please see the image below for assistance with completing the form. Once you have made the switch you will continue to receive annual rate demands which will include the Direct Debit statement. Adjustments can be made to your account when land is sold or transferred to a new owner.
The Reference is your Drainage Rate Account ID, which can be found on your Rate Demand as shown further down this page.
