Hi,

Does a fully self contain building in my garden, its own access, bathroom, kithentte/bed/sofa etc come under the 'rent a room' rules for tax?

I think not, as this would be classed as a self contained unit rather than a room in 'your house', take a look here for eligibility it may help.

No, but it does qualify for the £1K Property Allowance.

Thanks for confirming that. I have read about 'joined annex' and temporary access along with shared kitchen/bathroom but specific about a 'non joined/separate building'

Many thanks to both of you and for the link
