A very long shot this, probably belongs on a motoring or mobile-phone forum.... I drive a 2009 Mazda 6, which has hands-free functionality built in that won't work with any old mobile phone so I haven't used it yet. Instead, I've been getting by with my old Nokia brick, but it is getting old, like me, and...

I have a client who has purchased some land and is planning to build a training centre on it. The land cost is obviously capitalised, but the question is what to do with the costs relating to the building, so far these are mainly fencing, legal fees, planning etc as building has not actually started. A...

Or does it...

I'm probably about to lose my only client because I'm too bloody honest! (They have asked me to post something in a completely fictitious manner that favours them a few quid with regards to VAT - I'm not comfortable doing it). Anyone got any clients going spare - I'll need a new one soon!
