Editorial policy

Sourcing

• Every tax rule, amount, limit and date links to a dated official source: Revenue guidance, Tax and Duty Manuals or legislation.
• Where Revenue pages are stale or contradictory, we use the scheme-specific authoritative text, cross-check the legislation and document the discrepancy.
• Keyword and traffic figures are never invented. Search demand is validated with Search Console after launch.

Review

• Each rule record carries a review state. Only approved records drive numeric results; anything else returns a manual review state.
• Important financial claims are signed off by a named tax-qualified reviewer before indexing. Pages awaiting that sign-off say so.
• Calculators have table-driven tests for every rule and year, including boundary cases.

Updates

• After each Budget, Finance Act or Revenue update we flag affected rule IDs, verify the text, add a new year version, run the tests and publish atomically.
• Previous years stay immutable except for corrections, and public guides show their history.

What we will not publish

• Guaranteed refunds, average refund claims without evidence, or false urgency.
• Government branding, copied Revenue screens or anything suggesting official status.
• Mass-produced near-duplicate pages per year without genuinely distinct rules.
• Sponsored content inside calculation results. Sponsorship never alters eligibility logic.
