Q:
Can water and electricity charges be offset against rental income?
A:
If it is stated in the tenancy agreement that the water and electricity charges are covered by the landlord, then the water and electricity charges are tax deductible against the rental income.
Q:
Do I need to prepare accounts for rental income?
A:
You should prepare a statement of rental income to calculate the net rental income by deducting the property’s direct expenses against the gross rental income.
