Hi all
As well as being new to this forum, I am also new to the world of renting out property, so will probably ask some very basic (stupid) questions :o
My father had a property, which he has rented out for years. Due to his age he has signed the property over to me. The current tenants are in the process of moving out and I have new tenants moving in next month. The property does need a bit of work doing to it - garden fence replaced, windows replaced as well as some work in the bathroom due to moisture. I will be meeting a trusted builder this weekend to price up the work and hopefully get it all done before the new tenants move in.
Oh, and just to mention, I have always worked PAYE since I left school and therefore have never had any dealings with accountants or the taxman.
My questions are -
Will I be taxed on my fathers 'gift' to me?
Will I be able to claim back tax on any of the work I am carrying out?
Thanks in advance.
