I let my Wargrave place long-term and short-let it for regatta week. My old accountant put the whole year through as one rental account. These split it correctly and recovered two years of overpaid tax.
No. 03 / Common questions
What Henley on Thames landlords ask before booking.
Henley properties that switch use during a tax year (long let for most of the year, short let for regatta or festival weeks) need split treatment. The long-let portion goes through the property income page in the normal way. The short-let portion needs separate accounting, with its own expenses, and may qualify for different treatment depending on the post-FHL rules from April 2025. We split the year correctly, including a fair apportionment of standing costs like insurance and maintenance.
