I have received an Attachment of Earnings Order. What should I do?
The council has decided that it can best recover the outstanding council tax by collecting the balance through your wages or salary. Your employer has been ordered to make the deductions and pass these directly to the council. The amount deducted will vary depending on the amount that you earn. Details of the amounts that will be deducted are attached to the order. If you have not received these, please contact us. Your employer will deduct the council tax from your wages or salary until the full balance of the order is paid.
In order to prevent the deductions from being made, you may choose to settle the council tax in full. See details of how to pay, however we recommend that you contact us on 020 8359 2807 or 2752 in order that we then contact your employer.
If an attachment of earnings order is in place, you must tell the council if you change your employer. If you have any further query, please contact us.
