  • As it is on a renting forum, I guess it is about rental income.

    £7,920 annual income.

    Less 10% for wear and tear.

    So, about 18% in tax for a basic rate taxpayer. Less any other allowances.

  • :confused: I'm lost :confused:

    If it is rental income, it is added to your other income(s) and you pay tax at whatever rate it falls in. So, if you are a higher rate taxpayer, you pay 40%. If it takes you into the 40% band you pay some at 20% and some at 40% etc.

    VAT doesn't come into it.
