How we research

• Sources. Country figures come from government sources, Big Four tax summaries and provider country guides; provider facts from vendor pricing and product pages. Every page lists its sources.
• Dates and confidence. Each page shows when it was last verified. Figures we could not confirm are labelled “unverified” rather than guessed. Some employer-cost ranges are derived estimates from cited components and say so.
• Prices. We show only prices we saw on a vendor page or a clearly cited third party. “Not listed” means we could not find a public price.
• Rankings and matching. Order and matching reflect public positioning (team size, services, coverage), not who pays us. Commission rates do not set position.
• Not advice. Employment, tax and immigration rules change and have exceptions. Confirm with a qualified local adviser or your provider.
• Corrections. Spot something wrong? Tell us and we’ll fix it and note the date.
