Q:
I have rented out a terrace house, can I claim tax deduction for grass cutting and home cleaning services against the rental income?
A:
If it is stated in the tenancy agreement that these services are provided by the landlord as part of the maintenance of the house, then these expenses are direct expenses which are deductible against the rental income.
Q:
As only replacement of furniture can be claimed for tax deduction against rental income, how to prove that the purchase of furniture is a replacement?
A:
You can show the invoice or receipt of your first-time purchase of furniture to prove that you have bought the furniture before.
Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
