Introduction to this document

Claiming the property allowance

The property allowance is a fixed tax deduction which can be claimed against rents and other income derived from property in place of the actual costs incurred in generating the income. It means that individuals can receive up to £1,000 of property-related income tax free.  However, special rules prevent its use for some types of property income.
