Property News – Landlords Energy Savings Allowance
100% tax allowance for improvements in energy efficiency
As an incentive for private residential landlords to consider the energy efficiency in their rental property, there is now available a 100% tax allowance for improvements of this nature.
If you are a private residential landlord why not take advantage of this tax allowance and make a step to being more energy efficient?
The claim covers draft proofing as well as insulation for:
- Floors
- Cavity walls
- Solid walls
- Lofts
- Hot water supply
The tax allowance is:
- For energy efficiency expenditure up to £1,500 per tax year.
- Per rented dwelling, not just per building. Good for flat owners with more than one flat in the same building!
- Available for residential rental properties only NOT commercial or furnished holiday lets.
- Available when the investment into energy efficiency is made BEFORE 1 April 15 for corporate landlords and BEFORE 6 April 2015 for individual landlords.
- Not available if rent-a-room relief is being claimed already.
The Landlords Energy Saving Allowance is entirely different to the Annual Investment Allowance and both can be claimed.
