Now if this was for your wife/partner, then you could use a specific part of s836 Income Tax Act (ITA) 2007 which states that income from property jointly owned by spouses/civil partners who are living together to be the equal income of those persons i.e. 50/50 each - and that this can be overridden if a declaration is made under s837 ITA 2007 by way of HMRC Form 17.
I doubt this would work for a parent, but it's worth running by a Property Accountant. I won't recommend my accountant in this case because it's quite specialised and I don't want to ruin his day.
Otherwise, set your mum up with a Management Contract whereby she is responsible for managing the property and for collecting the rent. She can collect the monthly rent take a 20% fee and pass on the rest to you.
If 20% isn't enough then you might be stretching the limits of what you can do without bordering on tax avoision (yes I said the made-up word that exists in HMRC's heads ). You could sell her 50% of the house I suppose, but that will entail CGT and SLDT and then Inheritance Tax planning.Comment

You then reduce what you take from your company by £1500 a month as you'll be keeping it.
Obviously, do the sums and make sure it adds up.
Thanks for this Ladymuck ?Comment

Basically the op would like to use someone as a tax mule who is not his spouse
Would be interested to know if anyone has actually done this and gone through a hmrc investigation
I’m guessing a back to back transaction where he rents it to his family who then sublets it at at a higher price might work together whether the family member can be an agent and take a slice.
Definitely interested in other peoples view
Thanks very much for this idea -its a good one although not sure it can work here. My Mum is mentally ill so cant be responsible for decisions/actions relating to the property. ie i manage it receive the income and pay the bills, i just give her the net income.
In the subletting structure you propose I assume it would only work if she could receive the income from the tenants/agents?Comment

This is also the only legal way not to pay SDLT on second+ home.
Thank you very much for the idea I hadn't heard of this term, much appreciated. I have read about in on a few websites. As the property has a mortgage I dont believe it will work unfortunately

Thank you very much for the response. Yes unfortunately it needs to be more like 70%? - and it doesnt sound like from anyone else's ideas this is possibleComment
