Hi Smeharg
In terms of the proportion of rent I am claiming, it is based on floor space for the room I am using plus office storage space downstairs plus the shed out the back. For bills, I am claiming 50% of broadband, and 15% for oil and elec charges which I dont think are unreasonable given I am here all day every day. I ran this by a fellow consultant in a similar position, who was revenue audited and similar percentages were approved.

He is sub-letting (getting paid by a 3rd party) for a portion of a property he rents / leases from the owner.... Also, its not subletting as its not a business open to the public and the OP has a lease which should allow him/her to operate the house in the same way as if they owned the house. e.g. If its allowable in a dwelling that you own outright, then it shold be allowable under the lease. ...
