Well done on being 22 hours late with a pedantic answer. Given that I was drawing attention to the fact that he hasn't even asked his own accountant yet, you, as usual, miss the point.

No he had a point tbf. If this forum was just full of replies saying "ask your accountant" there would never be any actual advice. What would have been more helpful and interesting would have been a reply along the lines of "I think XYZ, but this is dependent on your situation, so ask your accountant for clarification". If you can't muster that, then maybe you don't need to post anything at all?

Honestly, if some people got their way, this forum would just be one big sign saying "ASK YOUR ACCOUNTANT", another big sign with a link to Google, and absolutely no interesting discussion.
