Spanish term
minuta acta
Spanish to English
Bus/Financial
Accounting
This is in the minutes of a meeting of a property owners' association in a section listing all unpaid debts. There are several people who owe over a hundred euros each for "minuta acta" in 2007...that's all it says - the name of the person, the "concepte" (minuta acta 2007) and the amount (127 euros)...any ideas? Could it be the bill for joining the association maybe? At first I thought it must be the bill for submitting the 2007 annual accounts, or a notary bill, but it seems to add up to too much money for those things...

Note from asker:
| Yeah, this is exactly the problem. I did consult the client, because I was finished with the translation and still didn't know how to translate that term (I had put something really vague - "document fees" I think) and she (the owner of the agency) told me just to put "minutes". I don't see how the minutes could cost so much money, and told her that, but she said "minutes" was fine... |
