Editorial and corrections policy

The calculator deals with tax and political claims. Our process is designed to make sources, uncertainty, automation and commercial influence visible.

Effective 27 July 2026Version 1.0

Evidence before commentary

Material calculations use legislation, official publications, Parliamentary evidence and policy authors' current documents before secondary reporting. News commentary can identify a development, but it does not change the calculator without corroborating evidence.

Neutrality

We describe the intended benefits, costs, distributional effects and unresolved questions of the proposal. We do not endorse a political party, candidate or campaign. Headlines and quotations are attributed. Opinion is identified as opinion.

Automated news collection

Software collects relevant headlines, dates, publishers and source links from current news-search feeds. The feed does not reproduce full articles. Automatic inclusion is not endorsement, and automatic category labels are navigational rather than assessments of truth or political position.

Original content

Explainers and analyses add calculation, comparison, context and clearly stated limitations. We do not republish third-party articles or present a rewritten source as original reporting.

Corrections

Substantive errors are corrected promptly. A correction that changes a formula, rate or conclusion will update the visible review date and methodology version. Minor spelling or formatting corrections do not require a correction note.

Send correction evidence to editor@048.tax. Please include the page URL, disputed statement and supporting primary source.

Advertising and commercial relationships

Advertisements are labelled and must not resemble calculator buttons, navigation or editorial recommendations. Sponsors and referral partners cannot approve or suppress editorial content. Sponsored content, if introduced, will be labelled at the beginning of the page.

Conflicts and expert review

A material financial or political interest relevant to an article will be disclosed. Where a subject requires regulated advice or a legal interpretation, we identify that limitation rather than presenting an uncertain answer as fact.
