answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2024 answer text <p>Rent a room relief provides an effective incentive for people to make spare rooms available for rent.</p><p> </p><p>In 2016, the threshold was raised to give an income tax exemption on income of up to £7,500 for individuals who let furnished accommodation in their only or main residence. This aligns with the Government’s objectives of supporting living standards and increasing the availability of low-cost housing. It also reduces and simplifies the tax and administration burden for those affected and has taken some taxpayers out of self assessment entirely.</p><p> </p><p>The Government does not currently have evidence that increasing the rent a room relief threshold above £7,500 would further encourage spare rooms to be made available for rent. As with all aspects of the tax system, the Government will keep this under review.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 08/02/2024 13:01:38 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
