Eg. Gifts are not exempt from PET rules.
No evidence that the income from property from resident LTAHAW or relatives are exempt.
If Rent or capital payments on a mortgage are exempt it would give people opportunity to indulge in other tax avoidance.
My answer has nothing to do with the benefits system as I have no knowledge of it. I do however have knowledge of HMRC rental income legislation and it's not classed as 'income' when members of your household contribute financially, and if it's not income it's not taxed as such. Your partner is not your lodger and you don't have a landlord/lodger relationship with them. Just like your children are not your lodgers even if they are old enough to pay some board.
