    if they came with the property when you bought it and then rented it out, then generally no

  • We bought the houses and refurbished and decorated them as required.
    Yes fully compliant.

    A few things I am not sure of regarding claiming tax relief.

    Unfurnished:
    Can I claim for the new laminate flooring and carpets we fitted/replaced?
    Can I claim for replacing the kitchen units?
    Can I claim for replacing the built-in appliances?

    Many thanks
  • Yes to all, but not all against income tax.

    Landlords can have to pay more than 10 types of tax, don't just worry about income tax.

    Thanks.

    Could you explain further please.
    Are you suggesting some may have to be claimed against capital gains? if so which?
