Basic tax questions

Thanks for this - when our wayward daughter was trying to get to uni, prior to 2004, the English/Welsh model of 5 was yet to converge towards the Scottish regulations. Together we tried playing the Scottish card and Edinburgh interviewed her and had a week long think about her dodgy "A" level results before saying No - which was a whole lot better than the "you must be joking" responses from the English universities.
In the event, after a gap year, she bagged, a related but lesser course in England through "clearing" - a bit like pharmacy , when you really want to be a doctor. My advice of "get your feet under the table" worked and at the end of the first year she was allowed to transfer to the course she really wanted to do.

Hey ho, at least I did not need to mug up on a different set of building regulations, before lending a hand with the "extension" project.
