Manchester Council
If you have a council tax or benefit enquiry, you’ll need to contact Manchester Council on one of the helpline numbers listed below.
Manchester City Council
Town Hall
Albert Square
M60 2LA
| Phone Number | |
| Housing benefit and council tax benefit | 0161 219 6100 |
| Council Tax | 0161 907 9400 |
| General enquiries | 0161 234 5000 |
If you’re experiencing financial difficulties, you must make sure you continue to manage your priority payments such as Council Tax, rent/mortgage and utilities, even if it means you cannot meet your monthly unsecured credit commitments.
That’s because the consequences of not managing your priority payments are much more severe. You should always contact your local council if you are struggling as you may be entitled to help paying your Council Tax.
