Great news Tax change on classification

Painting and decorating now recognised as a real trade ๐Ÿ˜†

Previously not a capital gain tax exemption.

Now it is!

HMRC Guidance

According to HMRC, common repairs like exterior and interior painting and decorating are normally deductible as revenue expenses. However, if the work results in a significant improvement beyond the original condition (e.g., transforming a property into a luxury home), the cost may be capital.

Practical Advice

Keep detailed records: Maintain receipts, invoices, and documentation showing the nature of the work.

Separate expenses: If painting is part of a larger project (e.g., a new extension), only the portion related to the improvement may be capital.

Consult an accountant: When in doubt, especially for large-scale or post-purchase painting, seek professional advice to ensure compliance.

Bottom line: In most cases, painting and decorating is a deductible repair, not a capital improvement. But if itโ€™s part of a major upgrade or enhancement, it may qualify as capital expenditure.
