Tax return - is a HIP an allowable expense?

Options
Hello

just doing the old tax return - yawn!! My hubby has just asked if we can claim for a HIP we had done during 08/09 tax year when we were going to sell our BTL property. It didn't sell so withdrew from market. Is that classed as allowable?

thanks

    Not allowable agaisnt letting income as its nothing to do with the letting. It could have been allowable against CGT had you sold it.

    Surely the EPC element is deductable as it is EEC Law to have in place?
