The choice of the Type of property income determines whether any losses made from the particular property are subject to restrictions for their relief. 

The default entry is for no Type shown. 

If the default choice of Type is changed to Non Commercial, Furnished Holiday Letting or Other Loss Restricted then an additional screen within Tax Planning for Restricted Loss will be populated.

If an analysis of the details of the expenditure are required, click the Details link to the right of the row.

A dialogue box is displayed.
