Section 23: Rent-a-room and foster-care relief
128.This section modifies the normal calculation rules when an individual is eligible for rent-a-room or foster-care relief under Part 7 of this Act. It is new.
129.When rent-a-room relief or foster-care relief applies the income may, depending on the total amount, be either exempt from tax or subject to a special calculation rule. This section ensures that, when appropriate, the rent-a-room and foster-care rules take priority over the usual trading profit calculation rules.
