## 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 3 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 1 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 5 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere. The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 11 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 taxable event (disposal, swap, staking, mining, airdrop) with the tax charged, the rate, the allowance and the matching rule that applies, quoted verbatim from HMRC with its effective date - plus the reporting-framework dates, which is the calendar this market's demand runs on; changed-since on every rate year
