Paying business rates
Pay business rates by standing order
You can get your bank or building society to set up a standing order from your account to pay your business rates. The payment should be made to Land & Property Services (LPS) as follows:
- bank account number: 01063197
- sort code: 95-01-21
- bank account name: LPS Commercial Rates
You must quote the full 16-digit reference number which is made up of your Account ID and Ratepayer ID and can be found at the top right-hand corner of your business rate bill. You must include the zeros at the beginning with no spaces or dashes, for example, 0123456789105568.
You should be aware that a standing order has to be renewed each year, unlike a Direct Debit which runs continuously until cancelled.
