## 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). 2 of the 7 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 5 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 in % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 78 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): the official receipts series per jurisdiction per period, from the authority that publishes it - and then the derivation that turns a tax table into news: FISCAL DRAG. Australian thresholds are indexed but slowly and British ones barely at all, so the duty on the median house rises every year without any rate changing; joining the receipts series to the rate table and to the median price gives the effective rate on a median purchase per jurisdiction per year, which is a figure a buyer, a journalist and a mortgage broker all want and which nobody currently computes across all twelve.
