Rent tax relief question

gebbel · 2019-10-04 15:36:38

In 2018 I paid 5 grand on a bathroom refit and €1600 on a new patio door in a property I rent out. I file my own tax returns. Just to clarify, how are these items dealt with in terms of tax relief? Thanks

The bathroom refit would be considered a capital expense which you claim over 8 years as a capital allowance. The patio door I would consider repairs and maintenance and can be classed as an expense.

I would view both as cap ex
