Editorial Standards
Tax & Markets is an independent professional publication. Our standard is not simply to report that something happened, but to establish what changed, its legal status, who is affected, when it matters and which parts are our analysis.
We publish when a development changes a rule, deadline, compliance position, tax cost, investment assumption or important policy direction. A high volume of low-value updates is not the objective.
Legislation, official gazettes, tax authorities, ministries and institutions such as the OECD are the evidential base for factual reporting. Secondary sources can add context but do not replace available primary verification.
Announcement, signature, enactment, entry into force, application and guidance dates are recorded separately. We do not turn one date into another because it makes a headline simpler.
Reported facts must be supported by the cited evidence. Tax & Markets analysis may explain consequences, scenarios or implications, but inference is presented as analysis rather than attributed to the source.
Substantive public coverage is built from information a reader can independently verify. Confidential client, employer or non-public government information is not used as authority for public reporting.
A material factual error is corrected transparently. Clarifications, source-link repairs and ordinary updates are distinguished from corrections so the record remains understandable.
Independence
Advertising, sponsorship, commercial relationships or access do not determine whether a development is covered or what Tax & Markets concludes about it. Sponsored material, if introduced, will be clearly identified and kept distinct from independent editorial coverage.
AI assistance
AI may support discovery, classification, comparison and drafting. Material factual assertions still require source verification and editorial review. AI-generated citations, invented quotations or unsupported legal conclusions are not acceptable publication evidence.
