Client is renting a room in his home and he is renting out a separate property. Can he get the rent a room relief on his own home and the property allowance on the rental property? I can't find anything to say they are mutually exclusive unless on the same business. I assume this can be viewed as two separate property businesses? Previous accountant didn't allow both so I am worried that I am missing something! He also received a salary from his own company but I don't think that is relevant. Thank you for your help

The other accountant is probably correct although you don’t give enough info to be sure. You seem to think it is possible for an individual to have 2 UK property businesses. It isn’t.
