Please, can you shed some light on the exact difference between a lease and tenancy agreement and rent? Secondly, what is a short lease and the premium received on it? Is the premium refunded once the lease finishes?
You will not need to know the difference for the TX exam – the question will obviously be a short lease – the examiner is testing your ability to do the calculations. A short lease is less than 50 years and the premium is a one off upfront payment taxable at the time it is recevied after you’ve done all the calculations. It is not refunded
