Renting a Room
Question
If I were to rent a room to a student / stagiaire in our house, how would I go about declaring the income on a tax return?
How does such a student / stagiare register if they are staying over 90 days? They register as their own household sharing the same address I assume?
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks
They should ask the college about registering. Students in Belgium are registered at home, even if they live away.
As for payment, I'd do it cash. I recon that's probably quite OK for a rent-a-room scheme. I'd also only take someone with a valid EU/EEA passport.
Do ask the college accommodation office for advice on renting rooms out though - they're most likely to be able to help if you're really worried about legalities.
