Editorial policy
Last reviewed: June 2026
Tax is a Your Money or Your Life subject. Here is exactly how we make sure everything we publish is accurate, current, and reviewed across our US and UK teams.
Why this policy exists
Our content covers tax - a Your Money or Your Life topic where accuracy directly affects people’s finances and legal standing. This policy sets out how we research, write, review and maintain everything we publish so readers can trust it.
Who writes our content
Every article is written or directed by a member of our cross-border team and is named on the piece, linking to a full author profile. US content is reviewed by our US specialists and UK content by our UK specialists, so both sides of any cross-border topic are checked by the right people.
How we research
We rely on primary sources: IRS and HMRC guidance, the US-UK tax treaty text, statute, and official forms. Where a source could change (rates, thresholds, deadlines), we cite the tax year it applies to and date the article.
Review and fact-checking
Before publication, every piece is reviewed by a second specialist in the relevant jurisdiction. Cross-border articles are reviewed on both the US and UK side. We record who wrote and who reviewed each article.
Keeping content current
Tax rules change every year. We review published content at least annually and after major legislative changes, and show a “last reviewed” date so you know how current it is. Outdated content is updated or withdrawn.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it promptly and note material corrections. To report an error, contact our editorial team and we will review it.
Independence
Our guidance is not influenced by advertisers or third parties. We do not publish sponsored content disguised as editorial. General guidance is educational and is not a substitute for advice on your specific circumstances.
