Record lodger income and costs, and see whether Rent-a-Room relief or actual expenses gives the lower tax bill
Secure checkout. Your file is ready in your client portal as soon as payment clears.
If you let furnished accommodation in your own home, you can receive up to £7,500 a year tax-free under the Rent-a-Room scheme (£3,750 each if someone else also receives rent from the same home). If your receipts are higher, you choose between paying tax on receipts above the limit (the alternative method) or on receipts less actual expenses (the normal method). This workbook compares the two.
