Editorial standards

Who is responsible

TaxFly is published by Radiant Vibes Ltd, registered in England and Wales, company number 17082185. Our registered office is Unit 50 New Lydenburg Street, London, England, SE7 8NE. Editorial enquiries go to hello@taxfly.co.uk.

A page's byline identifies its author or the editorial team responsible for it. The linked author profile gives the background supplied for that contributor and any professional links available. An author credit is not evidence that a separate specialist review has taken place. Professional titles, membership claims and external profiles should be checked with the relevant professional body before you engage someone for advice.

What a review label means

We distinguish authorship, publication and review. A Published date records when a guide went live. A Reviewed label identifies a recorded check by a member of our staff, with its date. Where the reviewer left a note, the page also shows what they checked or changed. A review is not necessarily independent of the author, and a staff review does not by itself establish a professional qualification.

If a page has no review label, do not assume that it has been reviewed. We do not claim that every guide or calculator has received a qualified professional review. Assigning an author, changing a layout or running automated tests does not create a review.

Sources and scope

Tax explanations should identify the tax year, nation and circumstances they cover. We prioritise the authority responsible for the rule, rather than another site's summary:

• HMRC: Income Tax and allowances and employer rates for 2026/27.
• Scottish Income Tax: Scottish rates apply to relevant non-savings income; savings and dividends follow UK rules.
• Revenue Scotland for LBTT and the Welsh Revenue Authority for LTT.
• Income Tax Act 2007 and other relevant legislation where the underlying legal rule needs explanation.

Source links let you check the original context. A link to an official source is not government endorsement. Our calculation methodology explains assumptions, rounding and the limits of the estimates.

Our publication checklist

1. Define the question. State what the reader can work out and what information they need.
2. Establish the rule. Check the relevant primary source, effective date, tax year and regional differences. Distinguish proposals from rules already in force.
3. Explain the result. Show the formula or a worked example, assumptions and situations the page does not cover.
4. Attribute the work. Assign the responsible author. Record a review only when someone has completed it.
5. Give a next step. Link to the relevant HMRC service, related explanation or tool that helps answer the reader's next question.

Editorial software, including AI-assisted drafting, can help organise material. It is not a source of tax rules, proof of accuracy or a substitute for a person checking a page. Our standards apply to assisted material in the same way as any other draft.

Images. The lead pictures on our guides and on the home page are AI-generated illustrations of everyday scenes. They do not show real people, real documents or real events, and nothing in them is evidence for anything a page says. Where a page shows an actual form, letter or screen, it says so.

Updates and corrections

The start of a tax year, a Budget announcement or a change in official guidance is a reason to check affected pages. A new publication or review date should reflect work actually completed, not make old content appear new. Historical examples must retain their tax year. When a guide changes materially, the change is listed on the page under “What changed”, dated when the editor recorded it.

Our corrections policy explains what to send, how a report is investigated and how a material correction should be explained on the page. Please include the URL and, for a calculator, the tax year, nation, inputs and expected result. Do not send tax identifiers or account details.

Advertising and editorial independence

Advertising and labelled partner links help fund TaxFly. An advertiser cannot pay to change a tax calculation or its explanation. Partner links must be disclosed near the link. A comparison's assumptions and limitations still apply whether or not a link earns commission. Read our funding disclosure.

Information and its limits

TaxFly provides general information and estimates, not personal tax, financial or legal advice. A calculator cannot establish every fact about your circumstances. Check the source and use a qualified adviser for a decision that depends on your individual position. See our disclaimer and contact details.
