Council tax prize to boost bills switch

6:40pm Thursday 15th December 2011 in Wallingford

HOUSEHOLDERS in two Oxfordshire districts are being invited to sign up to receive their council tax bills by email.

And, as an incentive, two of those doing so will get their council tax bills paid for a year.

Vale of White Horse and South Oxfordshire district councils are each offering the prize in a draw which includes everyone who signs up to the scheme by the end of January.

The councils say sending bills electronically could save them more than £64,000 a year in postage, printing and paper.

To sign up, visit the councils' websites.
