Tout savoir sur Airbnb / Holiday Let Tax
📋Présentation+
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.
💡 Bonnes pratiques
- If your allowable expenses are below £1,000, the property allowance will almost always give a better result than deducting actual costs.
- Platform reporting rules mean HMRC now receives data directly from Airbnb and similar platforms — declare all letting income even if it feels informal.
- Mortgage interest on a holiday let follows the same 20% finance cost credit as any other residential letting since the FHL regime ended.
🔢 Exemple concret
£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.
