Rent A Room Accountancy Advice

The Rent a Room scheme has special rules that apply when you let furnished residential accommodation in your only or main home.

The scheme provides for the first £4,250 of gross income to be free of tax. Expenses cannot be deducted when arriving at this income figure.

If you provide services for which you get paid, for example meals or a laundry service, this income too needs to be included in establishing your gross income.

The scheme is optional, and if not beneficial can be opted out of and the income received taxed under the usual furnished letting rules.

Principal Private Residence relief is not affected by the Rent a Room scheme.

I have always received proactive, professional advice and I know that the specialist advice I require to run my business is only ever a phone call away.
