## 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). 13 of the 34 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 21 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 in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 195 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): the advertised price of a filed return across every UK practice that publishes one: the median, the range and the count publishing versus quote-only, split by what is being filed (a Self Assessment, a CIS rebate, a landlord return, a quarter of VAT) and by price model (one-off fixed fee, monthly subscription, percent of refund) - the percent-of-refund rebate firms restated as a pound figure so they can be compared with a fixed fee at all, which is the comparison nobody publishes
