If you're considering renting out your accommodation during the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, make sure you check whether you have to pay tax on the income.
Under the Rent a Room scheme you can receive up to £4,250 a year tax-free if you rent out a furnished room in a residential property.

If you're thinking about renting out your home and living elsewhere during the Games, any profits you receive are worked out and taxed as residential property lettings.
