*Please note you can only link a My account to either a council tax/benefits or a business rates account.

If you are a local resident, and want to link a My account to a council tax account, but also have a business - you will need to register for two different My accounts, with different email addresses (one for you personal account to link to your council tax account, and one for your work account to link to your business rates account).

We apologise for the inconvenience, but this is so we can keep the data we hold in our system secure.
