Editorial scope
What "guidance, not advice" means in practice, and how a page gets from research brief to live URL.
Review chain
- Research brief. A topic is scoped against primary sources (legislation, regulator manuals, official guidance) before any drafting.
- Drafting pass. The brief is rendered into editorial structure — key facts, mechanics, worked example, citations.
- Editorial pass. Voice, structure, and citation density audited against the editorial policy.
- Pre-launch cold-eye. A separate read confirms nothing has bled from an adjacent jurisdiction or an out-of-date schedule.
- Post-launch re-review. Pages are re-dated on every substantive rate or rule change. The corrections log captures anything we got wrong.
What this isn't
It isn't advice on your circumstances. It isn't a paid recommendation. It isn't a verdict on which provider you should use. For personalised advice see a registered tax professional; for our line on what we publish vs. what we don't see the editorial policy.
