Council tax and benefits
Council tax is a local tax set by councils to help pay for local services like policing and refuse collection. It applies to all domestic properties, including houses, bungalows, flats, maisonettes, mobile homes or houseboats, whether owned or rented.
The services below are available to access online:
- Payment of your council tax using our secure online payments service
- How to obtain help with your council tax - including online claim forms
- Access to your own council tax account - so that you can view your latest balance
- Details of how the council's annual budget is set and how your money is spent
Queries regarding your account can be emailed to revenues@salford.gov.uk (please remember to quote your account number, if known).
Council tax payments can also be made through any Post Office, PayPoint or Payzone outlet in the U.K. Simply present your council tax bill at the counter and the clerk or retailer will scan the barcode on the bill to record your account details. A plastic payment card is no longer required to use this service. Please keep your receipt in a safe place.
