Ealing Council Tax Guide for Login, Bands and Payment Online
Ealing Council Tax is the local charge used to help fund London Borough of Ealing services and Greater London Authority services. Your final bill depends on your property band, the Ealing Council amount, the GLA amount, discounts, exemptions, Council Tax Reduction, arrears, credits and household changes.
Most Ealing residents search for Council Tax help because they need to log in to My Account, view their bill, pay online, set up Direct Debit, check the 2026/27 band amount, apply for a discount, claim Council Tax Reduction, report a move or speak to the council about a reminder.
This guide explains the official routes in simple English. It is not Ealing Council and cannot access your account. For payments, account updates, evidence uploads, discount decisions, reduction claims and legal decisions, always use Ealing Council or GOV.UK.

Ealing Council Tax Reduction, Low Income Help and Working-Age Rules from April 2026
Council Tax Reduction, also called Council Tax Support, can reduce your bill if you are on a low income. Ealing’s 2026 working-age scheme guidance says savings and investments are checked first, and if the total is more than £6,000, working-age applicants are not entitled to a reduction.

Evidence matters
Upload clear documents and include full name, address and reference number so the benefits department can match your evidence.

Ealing Council Tax Arrears, Reminder Notice, Summons Risk and Help if You Cannot Pay

Check the account and missed instalment
Know exactly what has gone wrong.
▾
Log in to My Account and check instalments due, payments made and current balance. This helps you see whether the issue is a missed payment, delayed payment, cancelled discount or reduction decision.

Understand what is not a defence at summons stage
Keep paying while disputes or claims are checked.
