    Me and my partner are both contractors, and we both have yearly income of 110K.

    My expenses related to the business are only 20k. so I am facing a massive tax bill soon.

    I have just purchased a property, can I make deductions from this investment? ( i borrowed the money to purchase this house valued 350k)

    what should I do to reduce tax ??? please help [blink]

    You should talk to a good accountant about operating through a company and or trust structure. There are various rules now preventing people doing this, but it may still be possible.

    Also maybe consider using a service trust. This will help divert income into a discretionary trust. eg. the trust could employ you and rent your services out to your company.

    With property, you should be able to claim any loss against your personal income.
