rent a room relief

[command]

If I am using a room in my house as a home office, can I qualify for tax relief under the rent a room scheme or to qualify do I need to rent the room to a "lodger" or an actual unconnected person?

Maybe this post should be in the askaboutbusiness thread?

Tax relief on what?

 

[command]

the expemtion form income tax, as in I do not have to file a case V return for the income I receive from my company for renting the office space.

rent-a-room scheme allows an owner-occupier to rent rooms in his PPR to private tenants without encurring income tax if conditions are met.

Rent-a-room scheme does not apply to renatl to companies, private tenants only.

Also, Planing permission is required for change of use of your PPR or part of as office space.

income I receive from my company for renting the office space.

Any such income may partly invalidate your entitlement to PPR exemption from CGT on any eventual sale of the property
