RE: Expenses (e.g. council tax, insurance) during time a rental property was empty awaiting sale?
Hi Tristram,
If there is no trade i.e income from property then expenses suffered after trading cannot be claimed as it is not wholly and exclusively related to trade.
Regarding the sale of the property- you may wish to consoider the allowable costs for acquisition and disposal held under CG15250 of our guidance.
Thank you. -
