FAQs
Yes, you can. Fixtures and fittings can be offset against your tax bill from the day they were purchased whereas if it was a buy to let this can only be done when those items are replaced.
The interest payment on the mortgage is tax deductible for an Airbnb rental as a relief due to the int3rest rate generally being higher in comparison to a buy to let.
This is totally dependent on your circumstances like how much income you generate elsewhere if any and how much your Airbnb turnover, book a quick call and we will be able to advise you which route is best.
Yes, but it's depends how ... if you've replaced double glazed with double glazed, then cost of that is deducted from your rental income in that year. If you've replaced old single glazed windows with new double glazed, then you've added something which will increase the selling value and/or opportunity; this is considered a capital expense, so instead of getting the tax relief now, it's added to the cost of the property and so reduced your taxable gain when you sell it.
letting agent fees, repairs & maintenance, gardening & cleaning, council tax, utility bills, ground rent / service charge, accountancy fees (NB fees for preparing rental account, not fees for preparing a tax return).
If you rent a room in your house, which shares the same front door and common areas (e.g. a flat mate), then you don't pay tax on the first £7,500 pa
If you received less than £1,000 rent, you don't pay tax or need to do a tax return (unless there's another reason why you do).
You'll pay tax at 18% or 28%, dependant on your total income that year. The tax will be calculated on your deemed gain on the property, which is usually sale price less purchase price less cost of improvements (not repairs) less legal buying/selling fees. If you've ever lived in the property, the gain is reduced.
