Register for council tax

1. Sign up for My Islington or log in
2. Choose 'manage your account' under 'My council tax'
3. Click 'add your account' then 'next' and fill in the form

Once you have created a My Islington account and added your council tax to My Islington, you can see your bill online.

We send you a bill every year from 1 April this year to 31 March next year (this is called the 'financial year'). Usually, your bill is split over 10 monthly payments.

If you set up a direct debit, your bill will be split over 12 monthly payments that come out of your account on the date you choose.
