Hi, I have a property rented out in 2022/23 financial year. I would like to ask how I should fill the below expense in self assessment tax return? 1. Gas safety check - should I put this expense under “Property repairs and maintenance” or “Costs of services provided, including wages”? 2. Installation of a replacement gas hob, oven, washing maching - should I put this expense under “Property repairs and maintenance” or “Costs of services provided, including wages”? 3. Recycling of old washing machine and oven - I bought new washing machine and oven as the old one not longer working. I need to ask the company to move out the old washing machine and oven. Should I put this recycling expense under “Property repairs and maintenance” or “Costs of services provided, including wages” or “Costs of replacing domestic items”? 4. Management service charge - the apartment is managed by a property management company and I need to pay management service charge. Should I put this expense in “Rent, rates, insurance, ground rents etc:” or “Legal, management and other professional fees” ? 5. Electricity and gas fee - Should I put this expense in “Rent, rates, insurance, ground rents etc:”, similar to water rate? 6. Tenant finder service - I have use the service of property agent company for finding the tenant. Should I put this expense in “Rent, rates, insurance, ground rents etc:” or “Legal, management and other professional fees” ?

In the document of UK property notes Tax year 6 April 2022 to 5 April 2023 (2022–23), page 8, paragraph 2, “If your total property income before expenses (including income from furnished holiday lettings) is below £85,000, you can just add up your expenses excluding any residential property finance costs and put the total (minus any FHL expenses) in box 29. “ Box 29 is Other allowable property expenses. My annual total property income is 12,000 pounds. Is it mean I can added up all the management service charge, insurance, painting, and Costs of replacing domestic items, etc (excluding any residential property finance costs) and put into Box 29?
