By Jamie Hibbert
This article is meant as a guide only. Advice should be taken from a qualified person.
Letting a fully furnished holiday home in the UK may mean the income made is treated differently than other rental income. Holiday lets are considered a business, where as other property letting income is classed as investment income.

* Based in the UK.
* Furnished rental accommodation.
* Available for holiday letting to the public for at least 140 days a year.
* Actually let as a holiday let for at least 70 days a year (and
these must be commercial lets, not at cheap rates to friends and
family).

</div>Hastings Law to students: 'There?s too many of you'A major Bay Area law school may be sowing the seeds of revolt in legal education.
?The critics of legal education are right,? said Frank Wu, the chancellor and dean of the University of California Hastings College of the Law. ?There are too many law schools and there are too many law students and we need to do something about that.?
