End of property ownership taxation

Postby JJ2024 » Sat Sep 28, 2024 8:29 pm

I had a rental property. In the 23/24 tax year it made a profit and will incur personal tax.

The property was sold in May and there were significant renovation costs incurred. Which would generate a tax loss in 24/25 when the tax year is done. These would cover the tax I need to pay for 23/24.

Is there any way I can offset backwards to mitigate the 23/24 tax year profits? Or am I destined to lose the tax losses generated in 24/25.

Fyi I had a cgt profit on sale, and have paid the tax on that.

Were the renovation costs "capital"? Were they set against the gain?
If not, they cannot be used against last year's income.
