Claiming back

[Ann-Marie]

I recently bought a house and a friend has told me to keep all my receipts as there is things we can claim money back from.

Has anyone ever done this? If yes how did you go about it

Is this an owner occupied house or an investment property? If it's the former no, if it's the latter then you can offset allowable expenses against rental income an/or capital gains.

Its owner occupied

OK - your friend sounds misguided so. Ask them to clarify but don't depend on them for professional tax advice.

If in the future you were to rent out the property there might be some use in the receipts but for right now I agree I doubt you can claim anything back.

thanks for the info. I will see her over the weekend and let you know what she says.
