Integrate[1/(x-y),{x,0,5}]

If[Re[y] >= 5 || Re[y] <= 0 || Im[y] != 0, Log[5 - y] - Log[-y], Integrate[1/(x - 
y), {x, 0, 5}, 
   Assumptions ->  !(Re[y] >= 5 || Re[y] <= 0 || Im[y] != 0)]]

Simplify[%,{x>y,y>5}]

Log[(y - 5)/y]

Integrate[1/(x-y),{x,0,5},Assumptions->{x>y,y>5}]

Log[(y - 5)/y]

Assuming[{x>y,y>5},Integrate[1/(y-x),{x,0,5}]]

Log[y/(y - 5)]
