Owning and letting out a holiday home, otherwise known as a furnished holiday let (FHL), has always been a popular way of investing and earning income – but there are important tax implications of furnished holiday lets that you need to be aware of.

If you own additional property in the UK, there has never been a better time to consider whether a FHL is the right investment.
