Is occupation rent an allowable deduction against rental income?

Is occupational rent paid to a developer, of a new-build property, an allowable expense to deduct from taxable rental income? The property in question was rented out in the same tax year as occupational rent was paid.

Is the occupational rental for your business or personal use?

For business

If the rental is business related, then it would be a deductible expense.
You would declare this within the local business section of your tax return (ITR12).

You would declare the rental income in the rental income section of your tax return.
