    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
