Ive already been letting out a room in my flat for some time now and my understanding of Uk taxation is that I have an allowance of faround £7,500 per annum. I was wondering if I rented out my other room wether HMRC would view this as a business and disallow the allowance on the first room?? and tax both room incomes at 20%?
My understanding is that it matters not to HMRC whether you are getting income from a sofa, a single bed or renting out two rooms. There is an annual limit after which you must declare it on a self assessment return.
