Hosting foreign students

society4

Thinking of hosting 2/3 foreign students for summer or even Erasmus form Sept - Dec….anyone advice ?

If I take 2 are they allowed share a room?
Is it taxable income and roughly how much is it per week?

Thanks

Presumably the issue of sharing a room would depend on the school/college policy?

some language schools are actively looking for host families, best to get in touch with them directly. not taxable if you earn upto 14k a year

thanks do you have to do at least 28 day continuous or can you just be host for 2 weeks in one year?

You can do whatever you like. You don't have to let to students for 28 days continuously.
