Answer
The Government currently offers several schemes to support landlords and tenants in improving energy efficiency, including VAT relief on Energy-Saving Materials (ESMs), the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) and the Home Upgrade Grant (HUG).
Repair or maintenance work which also improves the energy efficiency of a rented property is generally already a deductible expense.
