Self Assessment - using the information boxes

Kynthia

I let a property and made quite a big loss in the 2011/12 tax year. This is because I had a tenant do a bunk while in the middle of the fixed term whilst I was in the middle of a busy time in my life. Therefore I left the property vacant for a little while, considered selling it, then had some refurb work done before trying to relet. It then took a while to find tenant and once they moved in they stopped paying rent after a couple of months.

Now I doubt I'm high on the HMRC's radar with just one rental property but I do wonder whether such a big loss after making a profit the year before will flag up. Should I mention any of the above in one of the boxes for further information, or does using these boxes draw more attention to you?

Definitely not advisable - unless you really want it to be flagged up.
