Is the ground rent for a furnished buy to let holiday home in the UK an allowable expense?

MarieNoelle

yes -
Although FHL have special tax rules, normal rental business calculation rules apply.
Extract from UK Property Notes (on .gov.uk site)

Box 6 Rent paid, repairs, insurance and costs
of services provided
You can claim FHL expenses, such as:
• rents, rates, insurance and ground rent
• property repairs and maintenance
• costs of services you provided, including wages
• insurance against loss of rents – however, if you
claim under your own insurance policy, put any
money you received in box 5
