answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2017 answer text <p>The most recent complete dataset for self-assessment UK property tax returns (SA105) is for 2014/15. That dataset shows that there were 800,000 returns that contained claims for wear and tear allowance.</p><p> </p><p>This allowance can also be claimed by partnerships and individuals who complete short tax returns. However, in those instances claims for wear and tear are grouped and claimed together with other allowable expenses. Therefore it is not possible to identify the number of partnership and short tax returns that contain wear and tear relief claims.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 27/06/2017 15:21:27 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
