South Lanarkshire residents can enter a prize draw to win a year’s free Council Tax.

The council is running its annual draw to offer one lucky resident a year-long break from council tax if they sign up to pay via direct debit.

Those already paying through direct debit will be automatically entered into the draw.

In order to pay by direct debit you will need your Council Tax account number and bank details.  You can choose to make a payment on the 1st, 7th, 14th, 21st or 28th of the month.  To sign up to pay via direct debit and to enter the prize draw, locals can do so here.
