Income tax – How do the income tax rules apply when a close company provides short-stay accommodation?

This question we’ve been asked (QWBA) explains how the income tax rules apply when a close company provides short-stay accommodation (eg, through Airbnb, Bookabach, Booking.com or Holiday Houses). It explains when and how the mixed-use asset rules and the standard tax rules apply, and when shareholders or employees will receive income from their use of the property.
