Individuals do not need to separately notify HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) that they are claiming Rent-a-Room relief if their gross rental income is less than the Rent-a-Room threshold.

For this reason, it is not possible to estimate the number of additional individuals who will submit a claim for the relief.
