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).
4 of the 13 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 9 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 0 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.
The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in day (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 5 figures, never sentences; 16 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 jurisdiction carrying the same seven columns - trigger, asset base, exemptions, threshold, rate, deferral and its security, and the clawback on return - each quoted from that country's own tax authority or law portal with its effective date.
No authority publishes anyone else's column, and the cross-country comparison is the figure: which regimes charge at departure versus on a later sale, which set a threshold and at what level in one currency, and where the same portfolio is cheapest to leave from.
Changed-since is real here, because three of the seven have moved in the last four years.
16 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
