My brother and I are renting 2 spare rooms in our house and we share the rental income. Do we need to set up a partnership or we can just file a self-assessment each? Is there any difference/benefit setting up a partnership vs normal self employed?
Thanks

Just complete the property pages. Also take a look at the following:

Renting a room in your home is not a trade, and so not self-employment. If you each own part of the property (e.g. 50/50) then you are each entitled to an equal proportion of the rent and will declare it as such.
