1) I assume you all claim the lending fees as expenses in your tax returns?

For me the non-resident online help says I can't claim expenses against non-resident passive income, i.e. interest.
After further investigation, looks like residents and non-residents are treated slightly differently. Residents could claim it in box 26 "Other expenses and deductions". Non-residents have a similar box, but as before can't claim expenses against passive income. P2P lending. Not fair.
