If someone receives a fee for allowing a property to be used for filming, then this is chargeable under the miscellaneous income sweep-up provisions if it is not taxable as income from property.

However, funds paid out to local residents as compensation for the disturbance caused by filming are likely to be of a gratuitous nature and so will not be taxable as miscellaneous income.
