TaxTim says: 1 July 2015 at 22:46 Yes it can be used to reduce your income from other sources by declaring your rental and the associated expenses as a business under the Local Business section. However you can't declare a loss for more than a 3 year period. SARS assumes that you wouldn't continue running a business for more than 3 years at a loss!
