How much should I charge a lodger?

What you charge your lodger is up to you and will depend on what facilities you are providing for them. You may wish to look at websites such as www.spareroom.co.uk and see what other residents in your area charge for similar accommodation. 

If the income you receive from renting a room exceeds a certain amount you may be liable to pay Income Tax. 

Please refer to the government website for further information.
