Where these figures come from

Recorded on 21 September 2026, jurisdiction by jurisdiction. Rates and thresholds move, and they depend on your shareholding, your activity and your residence: we revalidate every point with a licensed adviser on the ground before committing you. That is what makes a figure quoted here still hold on the day you sign.
