Is Airbnb income taxable in UK?

In most cases, yes. The money you make through Airbnb is considered taxable income if you host as an individual rather than a limited company. As long as your taxable income goes over the personal allowance, which is £12,570 for each year between 2022/23 and 2025/26, you will be charged at your marginal tax rate.
