My boyfriend owns a house which a number of years ago he divided into a semi detached and rented out. We are thinking of moving in and temporally re instating 2 doors to allow free movement between houses. We would be individually responsible for the council tax, utility bills, insurances, tv licence, stocking kitchen etc on our own sides and I would pay rent to him for my side to pay towards the mortgage but would both have free access to each others house. I don't know how long this arrangement would last but would it be seen as moving in together for tax credit purposes. We both work full time but he cant afford to make up the shortfall that I would loose in Tax credits if we lived together (mainly because his own children spend half the week with him and he has their living expenses to pay for and can not claim TC or CB as his ex wife claims these)
