Self assessment question

1 reply

I would appreciate advice from any accountants please.

My husband and I are private landlords with one flat which we rent out. During the 17/18 tax year, we purchased a share of the freehold. Can we include the amount paid for the share of the freehold as a tax deductible expense on the tax return or is it classified as a capital gain?

Can the separate legal and surveying fees paid be considered a tax deductable expense?

We do the self assessment return ourselves and I have tried searching online for the answers to no avail. Any advice would be much appreciated.

No, those costs are capital and will be offset against your future sale of the property for capital gains tax purposes.
