Dear HM Revenue and Customs,

Good afternoon,

I have made a request using this site as I received bounce backs from my email address.

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to know the following in relation to this page

• The number of properties that are actively involved (or registered or whichever term you use) in the “Rent a Room Scheme”
• The value total value of “tax-free rental income” that has been accrued by these properties

Please could you provide the data for the last five years for which data is available, or for as many years for which the data is available.

I.e. I would like to be able to ascertain the following: At the end of year 2019/20, XXX properties were registered under the Rent a Room Scheme.

In the response and when providing the data, please could you provide the relevant year-end date.

Please let me know at your earliest opportunity whether you require clarification on this request.

Kind regards

Yours faithfully,

Alex W
