Hello, I'm a sole trader freelance journalist, but I also own a rental home in the US. I'm being asked if how many self-employed businesses I have. My US rental home doesn't count as a self-employed business, does it? What about US investment income?

Hi,
For UK purposes, your Rental Home in the USA would not count as a Self-Employed Business.
