Tax relief for property overseas

I'm interested in finding out about the different kinds of tax incentives / tax relief you can get when investing in property abroad, such as capital allowances. I believe you are eligible to get some kind of tax relief if you own a holiday-let in the EU and are a UK tax payer, but is there any other kind of qualifying criteria?

Would be very grateful for any advice.

I've never heard of this. I don't really see why you would get tax relief for being in the luxury position of being able to own two homes.

Thanks for replying, expo09. I've since looked into this and found that you can claim capital allowances on your holiday-let. The property must be available for 140 days in a year and actually let for 70 days. I (or the property owner) do have to be a UK tax payer and the property must be in the EU.
