Airbnb and other short-term letting income is taxed as UK property income unless it separately qualifies as a trade. You can either deduct actual allowable expenses (cleaning, fees, utilities) and claim the finance cost credit on mortgage interest, or use the £1,000 tax-free property allowance instead of expenses if that's more generous. Since the furnished holiday lettings regime was abolished from April 2025, most short-term lets follow the same Section 24 finance-cost-credit rules as any other residential letting.
£15,000 Airbnb income with £4,000 allowable expenses and £2,000 mortgage interest: £11,000 taxable profit after expenses, reduced further by the 20% finance cost credit on the interest.

No — using the £1,000 property allowance replaces all expense deductions, including mortgage interest; you cannot combine the allowance with the finance cost credit.
Only if your total taxable turnover across all activities exceeds the VAT registration threshold (£90,000 for 2025/26) — most individual hosts stay below it.
