The rent you pay has nothing to do with it.

The rent you receive is an income that will be taxed - but don't forget you can offset expenses against the rent income (but not the rent you pay out)

sorry must have pushed wrong star
He gave her one star because subconsciously he knew she hadn't given the full answer.

Do you have a mortgage on the property you will be renting out? If so you will get tax relief on the interest payments. So if the mortgage is �500 a month and you rent it out for �600 tax would only be payable on the �100 difference.
