10% Wear and Tear Allowance - Calculating the net rent



Hi

I am the leaseholder of a UK furnished flat in a block of flats.
I let the flat on an AST to a tenant who pays the rent, the utilities, and
the rates.
I pay the service and management charges, the ground rent, insurance, and
maintenance.

The SA105 Notes explain that "The wear and tear allowance is equal to 10% of
the net rents after deducting charges
or services that a tenant would usually bear but which are, in fact, borne
by you (such as Council Tax)."

Where can I get a full list of the charges or services a tenant would
usually bear ?
In particular, which of my expenses, i.e. the service and management
charges, the ground rent, the insurance,
and the maintenance charges, would a tenant normally pay, for the purposes
of calculating the net rent ?

Also, I have an apartment in Portugal that I let out for holidays. Guests
pay an all inclusive rent for their stay.
I pay condominium charges, insurance, all utilities, and maintenance and
management costs.
Which of these expenses should I deduct from the gross rent in order to
arrive at the net rent for the 10% wear and tear allowance?

Many thanks
Malcolm
