Sign up to win free council tax in Argyll and Bute for a year

People in Argyll and Bute are being given the opportunity to win a year’s free council tax if they sign up to the council’s new e-billing service.

Everyone who joins the online portal and signs up for e-billing before Sunday March 24 will be entered into a prize draw to win 12 month’s free council tax.

The e-billing service allows you to access your council tax account online 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It also enables you to check your balance, see previous payments, access copies of letters, view your current instalment plan, and check which benefits you receive.

To be eligible for the lucky draw you must sign up to council tax e-billing through the new online portal no later than March 24.

You also must not have any council tax arrears on March 26- the date of the Argyll and Bute Council prize draw.

Everyone who has already enrolled for the service will be automatically entered into the draw to win a year without having to pay council tax.
