It's best to ask a tax accountant but the gist of it is that you have to pay taxes on your property. You have to pay income tax. Housing costs affects your taxes. Your tax level/type depends on what type of income you have. Straight income is taxed higher than most others. Paying rent to yourself moves that money into a different category which allows you to pay less taxes on the same money.
bad idea, by her paying rent, she's helping pay the mortgage, as such, she's contributed to the bills, utilities and is entitled to half if they break up
