How we write our guides
- Answer first. Every guide answers its question in the first lines. The detail follows for when you need it.
- Real numbers. Taxes, fees and rules are stated as figures, never as "it depends".
- Sources and dates. Every guide lists its sources and the date we last checked them.
- Kept current. When the law or the market changes, we update the guide and its date.
