Can I claim a new boiler on my taxes?
Landlords can’t claim for providing or replacing fixtures or fittings, such as baths, sinks or boilers under wear and tear rules. That doesn’t mean the cost of supply or replacement cannot be claimed, but landlords should apply capital allowance rules to these items.
Improvements are considered capital expenditure, and are therefore not allowable revenue expenses. When replacing something like a boiler, the general question is: is it roughly a like for like replacement? If it is, then it is classified as a repair and is allowable.
