Commission and brokerage on Gilts

I incurred commission and brokerage expenses every time upon a purchase of government gilts in the open market. Can I deduct such expenses from my coupon interest income for tax reporting purpose?

Hi,
Not aganst the actual interest.
Thank you.

Thank you for the reply. If not against the actual interest: - Can these expenses be against deeply discounted gilts? - Or can these expenses be against the capital gain on disposal of ordinary government gilts? Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, you can claim when you report any gain or loss.
Thank you.
