The good news about having a SA is you can claim a range of tax reliefs that are usually reserved for traders. These include Entrepreneur’s Relief, Hold Over Relief, Relief for Gifts of Business Assets, Relief for Loans to Traders and Roll Over Relief.
As the owner of a Serviced apartment, you are allowed to claim Capital Allowance for items such as equipment, household fixtures and furniture. This means that if you decide to go to town with decorating and furnishing your SA, you will be able to deduct these costs from your pre-tax profits.
Any profit that you make from your SA is considered as ‘relevant earnings’ which means you can make tax-advantaged pension contributions.
Serviced apartments do not pay council tax. As the owner of a SA you should register for business rates, which will be calculated by your local council. In general, these rates will be lower than council tax.

As the sharing economy continues to grow, more and more people are turning to platforms like Airbnb to rent out their homes and make extra income. However, in many cases, these renters are doing so without obtaining the necessary planning permission from their local authorities.
This lack of planning permission can cause a number of problems, both for the renters and their neighbors. In some cases, the rentals may be illegal and subject to fines or other penalties. Additionally, the influx of short-term renters can disrupt the peace and quiet of residential neighborhoods, leading to complaints and conflicts.
So why are so many people renting out their homes on Airbnb without planning permission? The main reason is that many people are simply unaware that they need it. In many cases, they believe that as long as they are not causing any problems, they are within their rights to rent out their homes on a short-term basis.
However, this is not always the case. Most local authorities require that homeowners obtain planning permission before they can legally rent out their homes on a short-term basis. This is because short-term rentals can have a number of impacts on the surrounding community, including increased traffic, noise, and waste.
In order to obtain planning permission, homeowners must submit a written application to their local authority. This application must include detailed information about the property, including its location, size, and any other relevant details. The application must also include a statement outlining the reasons for the proposed rental, and how the property will be managed and maintained.
Once the application is submitted, it will be reviewed by the local authority. If the application is approved, the homeowner will be granted planning permission to rent out their property on a short-term basis. However, if the application is denied, the homeowner will not be able to legally rent out their property on Airbnb or any other short-term rental platform.
So what happens if a homeowner rents out their property on Airbnb without planning permission? In most cases, the local authority will become aware of the rental through complaints from neighbors or other sources. Once this happens, the authority will investigate the situation and determine whether or not the rental is illegal.
If the rental is found to be illegal, the homeowner may face a number of penalties. These can include fines, legal action, and even the revocation of their planning permission. In some cases, the homeowner may be required to pay back any income they have earned from the illegal rental.
In addition to the potential penalties, renting out a property on Airbnb without planning permission can also cause problems for the renters themselves. For example, if the rental is found to be illegal, the renters may be asked to vacate the property immediately. This can cause significant inconvenience and financial loss for the renters, who may have already paid for their stay.
So what can homeowners do to avoid these potential problems? The best course of action is to obtain planning permission before renting out their property on Airbnb or any other short-term rental platform. This will ensure that the rental is legal, and will protect both the homeowner and the renters from potential penalties and other problems.
In order to obtain planning permission, homeowners should contact their local authority and ask for information on the process. The authority will be able to provide detailed instructions on how to submit a written application, as well as any other requirements that may be necessary.
Once the application has been submitted, the homeowner should be prepared to wait for a response. The review process can take several weeks or even months, depending on the complexity of the application and the workload of the local authority.
Once planning permission has been granted, the homeowner can begin to rent out their property on Airbnb or any other short-term rental platform.
This is where landlords are offered guaranteed rent for a fixed term, this could be anywhere from 12 - 60 months, the landlord then allows the service provider to sublet the property, which they then turn into serviced apartments. In theory, there are benefits to the landlord, as they no longer have to worry about void periods, management, evictions etc. The difference between what the service provider
rents the property from the landlord for, and what they are able to get on the open market, is theirs to keep as profit
