TaxTim says: 22 June 2015 at 14:41 Are you talking about your residential property that you live in? If so then you cannot deduct any expenses against this cost as it is of a personal nature. |
Angelique says: 22 June 2015 at 14:58 It is residential - so you mean the owner may not claim what we pay from his tax even if the bills are under his name but paid by us Thx |
TaxTim says: 22 June 2015 at 22:33 He should not be able to claim this as you make the payment and therefore it is not his expense. |

TaxTim says: 24 June 2015 at 16:20 Yes that is correct, the owner cannot claim for deductions which he does not pay for himself. |
