Rent-a-Room Relief & Utilities

    Hi,

    Query about the rent-a-room exemption on rental income upto 12,000 per annum (increase from 10,00 for 2015).

    I am about to rent out rooms in my residence and I am a bit concerned about the fact that the 12,000 limit includes so called "income" received by the "landlord" to pay for the extra utilities used by the others.

    I am wondering if there is a way to make it such that the "landlord" is not considered to be in direct receipt of the cash which is actually used to cover utilities paid for by the others - for example if the utility accounts are held jointly in the name of all residents.

    Also, as a PAYE worker - do I need to bother filing a Tax return?

    Thanks
