Do I pay tax on my buy to let property inspite of being a tenant in someone else's property?

Posted 11 February 2015

I own a property that I rent out but I am also a tenant to someone in someone else's property. Once the buy to let property is paid off, am I still obligated to pay tax on the property I own or is this considered a primary residence?

Do you intend moving into that house you own?

Thanks for the response

I have no intention of moving into that house.

As long as you earn income, you will be subject to tax on that income, even after you have paid off the bond.
