Single person

If you're the only person over 18 living in your home, you can apply for a 25% discount.

Do I qualify?

If you’ve already registered with us to pay Council Tax and you’re living alone, you can apply for a single person discount.

You’ll need to continue paying your existing payments until you hear from us.

If anything changes

You’ll need to tell us immediately if anything changes such as:

  • someone moves in
  • someone in your house turns 18

You need to tell us within 21 days. If you do not, you may receive a penalty charge.

How do I apply for or cancel my discount?

Online

If you have registered for a My Gloucester account, you can sign in and link your Council Tax account to apply for or cancel the discount online.

If you do not have a My Gloucester account, you can still apply using our online form. Make sure you have your Council Tax Reference number to hand before applying.
