    Capital or Expenses?

    My accountant is really funny about me putting anything in "expenses, repairs and renewals etc" unless it's a cheap item. We had a LOT of building work done (mostly repairs but some new structures too). I have put most of the materials i.e. blockwork, sand, cement etc as 0010 freehold property...

    Sacking employee?

    Thank you Cyndy! I wasn't suggesting sacking him because he is Polish. I tend to think they are very fast, reliable workers but in this instance, this one does not speak enough English and it makes any communication very difficult and frustrating. Thank you for your quick reply.
