The sentence each figure was read from (8)

Read in full, publishes no figure

10 named sources were read in full on the dates shown and print no usable figure. They are counted, never filled in.

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).

5 of the 15 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 10 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 GBP (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 4 figures, never sentences; 52 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 per rate - the US CONUS and OCONUS per diem, the IRS high-low and standard mileage rate, HMRC's benchmark scale rates, worldwide subsistence rates and approved mileage allowance payments, CRA's meal allowances at home and abroad, the ATO's reasonable amounts by salary band - quoted verbatim with its effective date; the derivation is the CROSS-JURISDICTION comparison (what one night in the same city may be reimbursed at under four tax regimes) and changed-since, which is the news every rate year turn.

52 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
