Things I can claim for?

[DDlandlord]

Hi does anyone know of an extensive list of things I can claim for on the property I have rented out, I've kept all receipts from the refurbishment but was wondering if there are other things out there that I'm unaware of
Thanks

Oh, well there's also mortgage interest, accountancy fees, travel, stationery. Maybe even your pc if you bought it for the business.

You should probably invest in an accountant - given that it's nearly January and it's a little late to try and learn what you need to in thirty odd days.

There are at least 12 taxes a landlord may end up paying: Do not make the mistake of just worrying about reducing tax for income tax - you could end up paying more elsewhere...

Read this or something like it...

Somebody is doing my tax return I was just wondering if there was a list for landlords which covered certain things I may not have thought of

hmrc property rental toolkit might help?

I've kept all receipts from the refurbishment

If the property was bought in need of refurbishment, and that was reflected in the price, then I believe refurb costs for the most part will not be deductible from rental income. (Capital expenditure rather than revenue.)

You really need to understand the business better: What training did you do - course, books - on being a landlord?? Don't rely on "somebody" to have known what you are doing - why on earth would they know about stuff you've done?? You need to help yourselff more 1st...

Read the book I suggested & then you should realise about the receipts & evidence you failed to collect 2013-2014: But do better in future...

The link to the book doesn't work

I think its the tax café book on how to save property taxes - that along with the latest david lawrensons book are my recommendations -both are well worth the investment, and yes, you can claim for them against any income!

The link to the book doesn't work

If the broken link refers to "How to save Property Tax" by Carl Bayley, it is still available from Amazon. Or the TaxCafe website :

http://www.taxcafe.co.uk/property-tax-guide.html

It is a useful book & well written.

Thanks everyone

I'd be curious to know how much of that book covers Capital Gains Tax as that's currently my biggest, albeit long term, worry.

It gets covered in the book.

CGT is relatively simple, and the book is good on the subject.
