These are the costs that HMRC permits you to deduct from your earnings for tax purposes, and can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Agent fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Legal fees associated with signing or renewing a lease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Accounting fees<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Landlord insurance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Interest on mortgages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Property maintenance and repair costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Utility bills (water, gas, and electricity)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Ground rent<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Council Tax<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Domestic services (eg gardening)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">Other costs directly associated with renting out a property<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To find out the figure on which your tax will be based (your net income), you can subtract your allowable expenses from your total income. You may also be able to deduct a wear and tear or renewals allowance. If you have more than one property, remember that HMRC will treat them all as one business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"exceptionsandroomrentals\">Exceptions and room rentals<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The situation is different if you want to let a furnished room or a floor in your own house or flat. In this case you may be able to use the Rent A Room scheme, under which you can earn up to \u00a37,500 a year tax-free. You also won\u2019t need to complete a tax return, provided that your rental earnings remain below that threshold.
