Renting a storage unit - Is it tax deductable?

I'm renting my old flat out unfurnished. When I moved out I had a few bits and bobs which I've had in my garage up to now. It's getting to the point where I want to reclaim the space in the garage.

I'm looking at putting some of my old stuff into storage. Therefore, can I offset the rental costs for the unit against the income I'm getting from my rent..

TIA

    Almost certainly no. Using storage is for your convenience and not related to to renting the flat.

    As your 'bits & bobs' are yopur oewn and not the flat's, then I doubt this would be allowed.
    I'm a rather elderly retired IFA who used to present IHT seminars for many years on Inheritance Tax, Wills and Trusts. I cannot and will not offer advice now, but my comments here and on Legal Beagles as Sam101 are just meant to be helpful. Do ask questions from all the Members who are here to help.
