Application Question(s):

• Please record a 2-minute video as if speaking directly to a client. The scenario: your client is a limited company director and shareholder, is VAT registered, and asks: "Everyone keeps telling me I should get an electric car through the company — should I? What are the tax implications, should I buy new, used, or lease, and are there any VAT considerations?" Cover the key considerations in plain English as if the client has no accounting background.
