Filling out Tax Return- Unused Maintenance Cost from Previous Tax Return

I have unused maintenance costs carried over from last years tax return. Where do I put those on my tax return for this year and can I only claim at the lower rate of tax relief ?

    Do you really mean maintenance payments or is the rental income related?

    If so wouldn't it be a loss you had to carry forward?
  • Hi
    These maintenance cost are for work done on a house I rent out. There was a lot of repair work needed after previous tenants. I had to carry over a lot of this expenditure. So this is known as a loss from the previous tax year ? Thanks for any advice you can give ?

    Did your previous return show a loss at 5 April 2022?
