If there is a market for what is on offer then the likely hood of it becoming a success is a fine one.

Tax Tips Renting out your own car space- taxable or non taxable?

TAX TIPs

How many of you who have rented out your own car park space knew the consequences?

Did you know that renting out your own car space and receiving income from that source is deemed as taxable income, even if that means that by doing so you have to rent a space yourself.

Renting out your own car park space on your own driveway means you are responsible for declaring that income on your own personal self assessment tax return when you file it to  H M Revenue and Customs. The entries should be made on the Land & Property pages

Remember to consider that should you enter into this type of arrangement make sure you prepare a contract and include a break clause in case the situation changes.

Considering leasing space.

Here are some thought and considerations on what questions you maywish to ask before it’s too late.

Consider that they have in their lease writen in their terms and conditions that they are able to sub let before they are in breach of contract.

Read the small print

I wish I had read all the terms

For new businesses consider building in to your agreement a break clause after say 6 months.

This protects both parties as not all businesses fly straight away. Life has a terrible way of bringing about unexpected changes. One can always re negotiate.

Consider terms of payment for rent and requires agreement from both parties concerned. Make sure you obtain a receipt for rent paid if it is cash as it will be required by your accountant for your year end accounts. A petty cash receipt should be sufficient.

Is your rent for space inclusive or light, heat and rates?

Remember information is free, advice is paid for
