Self assessment help

ecclesto

My mum went into a home last year and her home was rented out from October last year. I think we won't have to pay any tax this year but her home was done up to the tune of £10,000. I have been told that the repairs would be better claimed against the tax when the house was sold so that would mean that I could claim for fuel, home fees, court of protection fees this year. Is this the best way, I have never completed a self assessment before and any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have taken on one of the most legally complex mine fields - have you done all the other stuff like gas certificates and deposit protection?

Needless to say the tax can be complicated too, here is a link to other stuff on this forum.

Unfortunately you can't offset care home fees against the rental income.
Not sure about the Court of Protection Fees but I can't see that being allowable either.

Yes the house is being rented out through an agent and so there are gas certificates, etc .
