Why rent out your home office to your own company? In this article, we explain how to go about it. We discuss the tax advantages you can expect and what to look out for. And don't forget: Bookies takes care of all the administration for you.

Rent out home office to your limited company? More benefits than you think.

Do you often work from home and use a separate room for that purpose? Then you can perfectly rent it out to your own management company. The result? You get private extra income from your company in a tax-efficient way. But then you have to be smart about it.

And it gets even more interesting: if the space you rent out to your company is in need of an overhaul - think painting, furniture, new flooring - your company may those costs carry. The expenses are deductible, you get a fresh office and you don't have to pay for it privately. Win-win!

Tax implications of renting out home office to your company

In 2025, you may pay yourself more rent thanks to the increased tax limit (the so-called revaluation coefficient). Still, we recommend being just above that limit. Why? Because that limit is nothing more than a taxman's calculation. The question is not "what is allowed?", but "what is smartest in your situation?".

Do you have a partner who is co-owner of the property? Then his/her share of the rent is not subject to that limit. So there is often more margin than you think.

When you rent out part of your property to your partnership, you increase your net income in a tax-efficient way. Rental income is taxed more favourably than a gross salary, which means you are left with more of the rent you receive. This is because the tax on rental income in your personal income tax is only 60% of the actual rental income, thanks to the cost lump sum of 40%.

Renting out furnished: definitely do it!

For furnished rentals, you can state the rent separately for private and professional use. You must clearly indicate which part of the rent relates to movable property (furniture) and which part of the rent relates to immovable property (the building itself).

If there is no split between movable and immovable rentals, 40% of the rental income is considered movable rentals. The remaining 60% as immovable rent. The tax rate on net income from movable income is 30%.
