Can a credit card make a payment automatically, i.e. like a direct debit?

Hi
I want to use a credit card to pay my council tax every month.
Can I set it up to do this automatically or have I got to remember every month?
Thanks
Sally

Ask your Council if they have a facility for continuing payments... some magazines, gyms and so forth have collected regular subscriptions by getting customers to sign a Continuing Payment Authority, and since it is difficult for the customer to cancel these they have a rather poor reputation.0

My council (Cornwall Council) allow you to pay monthly anyway with 0% interest, it even tells you on the bill how to do it, surely every council will do this? I can imagine ALOT of people cannot afford a council tax bill in one lump sum. Plus by setting up the direct debit with santander 123 current account you will get cashback on every months bill0

Many councils will charge a fee for payment by credit card, mine charges 1.8%.0
