In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.

Girlfriend owns flat. Boyfriend moves in. If he pays towards mortgage, is that in effect taxable?

Not a chance. Even less than someone renting a room, as he won't EVEN be contributing rent.SadieO said:
She should research "beneficial interest" though - the partner may be able to claim this if he says he has enhanced the house and so contributed to increasing its value or even just paying bills might count.Bendy_House said:What I'd strongly suggest is that she keeps paying the mortgage in full - I presume she can afford to - and they split every other cost-of-living bill in half. Everything - energy, food, insurance, repairs, etc.
Nothing written - completely unnecessary. Just work out the living costs, and split them. 50:50 or whatever. They are at the start of a permanent relationship.0
