Methodology
Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).
2 of the 6 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 4 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 8 figures, never sentences; 38 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.
The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per relief and per deduction cap with its threshold, its conditions, who is shut out of it and the date it expires, each quoted from the instrument that sets it; the derivation nobody publishes is the SAME taxable income run through every relief the person might qualify for at once - Small Business Relief against the 0% band against the free zone regime - with the one that produces the lowest bill named and the reason shown, plus the expiry clock, since Small Business Relief runs to a stated end date and a business planning past it is planning at 9%
38 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
