How we maintain accuracy
Every article on UK Startup is written against official UK government sources. We link directly to those sources within each article so readers can verify what we say and access the most current official position. Tax rates, thresholds and deadlines are updated following each Autumn Budget, Spring Statement and new tax year.
We publish a last-reviewed date on every long-form article. When legislation or HMRC guidance changes materially, we update the relevant pages and revise that date. If you believe a page contains an error, please contact us — we review every correction submission within 5 working days.
For a full account of our sourcing, fact-checking and update methodology, see our editorial policy.
