Care leaver discount
The council provides a local discount for its care leavers to reduce their council tax bill until they reach their 22nd birthday.
If you are a Gloucestershire care leaver you still need to apply for any other reduction you may be entitled to such as:
- student discount or exemption
- single person discount
- council tax support scheme
We will automatically award you a top-up discount until your 22nd birthday only when we have received confirmation from Gloucestershire County Council’s 11-25 permanency service that you are a ‘former relevant child’.
The discount only applies to Gloucestershire County Council care leavers living in Cheltenham borough who are named on the council tax bill.
