Rent(出租)a room

Spare room? Not only will a lodger (房客) earn you some money, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax (税) on the first £4,500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.

Make money during special events

Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis (基础). If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.

Use your roof (屋顶)

You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment (around£14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier (供应商), which could prevent you from changing the roof. 

1.If you earn £5,000 from renting a room in one year, the tax you need to pay will be based on ________.

A.£300            B.£500            C.£4,500           D.£5,000

2.If you want to use energy free, you have to ________.

A.sign an agreement with the government

B.pay around £14,000 for the equipment
