Council Tax

We issue a Council Tax bill to all homes in March every year. The bill shows how much you have to pay each month. The bill, places a duty on the person named on the bill to pay the amount.

Council Tax bill phone/voicemail, text and email reminders

To help our residents stay on top of when their Council Tax payments are due, we have started sending regular telephone/voicemail, email and text reminders to people who have fallen behind with their payments before more formal notices are sent.

The telephone/voicemail call will come from 03004 560560, our Council Tax telephone number.

The text messages will come from ‘Wychavon DC and read ‘You currently have an outstanding matter with South Worcestershire Revenues & Benefits Partnership who administer Council Tax on behalf of Wychavon District Council.’

It then asks you to follow a link beginning https://textm.co/t/. Following that link will take you to a page with a security question to check your identity before giving you further instructions about your Council Tax account.

The email will start with your name and Council Tax account number and will come from ‘This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.’ and will include instructions as to what you need to do.

If you receive any of these messages, we can confirm they are legitimate Wychavon District Council communications and ask you to act on the instructions detailed as soon as possible.
