Finance Department

The Finance Department is Nottinghamshire's top performing authority for the collection of Council Tax with a current rate of 98.4 per cent.

Our team recognises the need to collect this money to provide essential public services, ranging from housing repairs and road improvements to supporting parish councils.

What we do

Our Finance officers deal with council payments and help prepare our annual budget, which determine what each department has to spend over the coming year.

This year the department has a duty to collect in the region of £45.5million, as well as collecting money from borough tax payers for:

• Nottinghamshire Police
• Nottinghamshire County Council
• Nottinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service

As well as collecting Council Tax, Business Rates and handling Housing Benefits, the department also manages the concessionary fares bus pass scheme and recently launched a 24-hour automated telephone system for people to pay their council tax and rent by debit card at any time, day or night, 365 days a year.

The new telephone payment system now works alongside the 2,000 payments already received through the emerging internet payment system.
