As a beach hut licensee, you will receive 2 separate bills for letting an annual beach hut site from us:
- BCP Council for the annual licence fee
- HM Revenue & Customs for non-domestic rates
You can choose to pay in full or monthly by direct debit.
If you already pay by direct debit, the fees will be automatically paid from your account. However, your direct debit instruction will not cover payment of any non-domestic rates due on your beach hut. When you receive your rates bill, you will be advised how you can pay this if applicable.
Licence instalment payments must be made on the due date or you will have to pay the full outstanding amount immediately or risk losing your beach hut site licence.
