There is currently no statutory council tax exemptions for residents with a terminal illness, but councils can use discretionary powers to reduce tax liability, the authority said.
John Clarke, leader of the council, said: “No family should face financial crisis at the same time as dealing with a terminal illness.
“This new support is a compassionate and practical step to help ease the burden on those who are already coping with unimaginable pressures.
“We are committed to ensuring our most vulnerable residents receive the help they need, when they need it most.”
Newark and Sherwood District Council announced in January it would be implementing a council tax relief scheme for homes where someone is receiving end-of-life care.
Residents in Gedling who could be eligible for the support are asked to contact the council.
