Editorial policy

Official sources, or nothing

A rule on this site comes from a law, from guidance by a tax authority, or from a sheet that authority supplied. We link the text we read and give the date we read it. If we cannot open a text, we do not state the rule as verified, and the country or the point stays out.

What we refuse to write

No invented example, client story, quote, credential or personal experience. Worked examples are computed by the site's engine or copied from an authority's own example, and they say which. We write nothing like "French law sets 183 days" when the source does not say so: a rule of thumb stays labelled as one.

Unsettled points

Some questions have no clear answer in the texts, for instance how a treaty clause meets a newer domestic rule. The page then says the point is not settled and shows what each text says. We do not guess, and we do not present an unsettled reading as the rule.

Review

The publisher writes and checks the pages against sources. No external tax adviser reviews them at this stage, and the pages say so. Rules are read again at least every 12 months and whenever we learn a text has changed. The date at the bottom of a page is the date of its last real update.

Our interest

The same publisher makes the Taxlag app, and the pages link to it in a measured way. No other commercial link influences what we write: no adviser commission, no paid placement, no country sponsorship. A comparison that includes our own app says so.

Corrections

Write to contact@taxlag.app with the page and the source. Confirmed errors are corrected and the page's date changes. We read every message; we cannot answer questions about your own situation.
