Do you provide short-stay accommodation? We have updated a series of “questions we’ve been asked” (QWBA) on the income tax implications of providing short-stay accommodation. These draft QWBA’s will be of interest to anyone who rents out their property for short-stay accommodation. For example, renting out a holiday home, or a room through a booking platform. Originally published in 2019, the QWBA’s have been updated to reflect recent changes, including: ⭐ the GST online marketplace rules (income tax implications), ⭐ the residential rental ring-fencing rules, ⭐ the interest limitation rules, ⭐ a change of view in relation to the depreciation for mixed-used chattels, ⭐ changes to thresholds for depreciation and provisional tax. See the draft QWBA's on our Tax Technical website – https://lnkd.in/g-Mks83M Consultation is open and will close on 25 October. We welcome all feedback.
