Missing Box 44

daft_k

I'm trying to enter the amount of mortgage interest I pay on a rental property, but there is no Box 44 on the form.

It jumps from 43 - Residential property finance costs to Unused residential property finance costs brought forward and on the next page, Box 45 - Any other information

Where is Box 44? It's driving me nuts! Can anyone help please?

Residential property finance costs: (optional)

Help about: UK Property 43 - Residential property finance costs

Unused residential property finance costs brought forward: (optional)

Help about: Partnership Full 37 - Unused Residential property finance costs brought forward

Save and continue 


I've tried entering in Box 43, but get an error:

There is a problem
Residential Finance Costs Not Included In Loan Interest And Other Financial Costs' should not be present if 'Property Income Allowance - Read Help' is present. Please amend.

Didn't mean to hide that error - it might mean something relevant:

There is a problem

• Residential Finance Costs Not Included In Loan Interest And Other Financial Costs' should not be present if 'Property Income Allowance - Read Help' is present. Please amend.

That message would indicate you have claimed the Property Allowance of £1000. in box 20.1

This allowance is instead of claiming any other expenses so you cannot claim mortgage interest as well. Hence the box has been offered on your tax return.

If you read the notes provided it is explained there
