What are 'allowable expenses' for landlords?
If you receive income of over £1,000 from letting out a property, it’s likely that you'll have to file a Self Assessment tax return, declare the taxable profit you made on your property income and pay Income Tax on that figure every year.
When filing your tax return, there are a number of expenses that you may be able to deduct from your income in order to work out your taxable profit. These are known as allowable expenses.
