Taxation

Hello there,

I am a host based in the UK but my houses are in Turkey. I am a taxpayer and the citizen of both countries. 3 questions:

1. How is the fee paid out ( currencywise, how do I check the rate)- Is it  in local currency or converted to GBP (£) as my bank account is in the UK?

2. Where do I pay or claim for tax?
3. Is it more beneficial to be paid and taxed in Turkey/ the country where the houses are?

many thanks

I have asked Airbnb support team and they advised me to get paid in the country where the houses are. But also get taxed in the country where I live. So the income is paid in local currency but the tax will be paid in £.

I would suggest you get an accountant with experience of dual taxation Uk/Turkey and ask them on the best way to set up finances for your STR business @Aygen1

I live in the UK; all income whatever the source needs to be declared during self-assessment and after a minimum threshold tax applies to it.. There is a bilateral agreement between Turkey and UK to avoid dual taxation but I will check once again when I am back with my accountant.
