Our sources and how we keep pages up to date

By RentTaxCheck Editorial TeamUpdated Checked against GOV.UK

Every figure on RentTaxCheck comes from an official source. Here is the full list, what each one supports, and where we use it.

How we keep pages current

  1. One list of sources. Every page's Sources section is generated from the list below, so nothing is cited that isn't tracked.
  2. Automatic change checks. We regularly compare each GOV.UK source against the date it was last updated, using GOV.UK's official Content API. When a source changes, we know exactly which pages to review.
  3. Budget and HMRC announcements. We review every affected page within days of a Budget, Spring Statement or HMRC guidance change, then update the date shown on the page.
  4. Corrections. Readers can report errors through our contact page. See our editorial policy.
