The government has launched a call for evidence to find out the extent to which rent-a-room relief still fulfils its intended purpose of helping provide low-cost residential housing. Although the government says it has not yet formed a firm view on the need for reform, one aspect being considered is whether the relief should more explicitly support residential accommodation provided on a longer-term basis, subject to a ‘residential’ test. The deadline for responses is 23 February 2018.
