Compiler's notes
Named from source by the instrument finder: the F-note on s38(1) cites SI 2026/38 art 2(a). The Order's metadata carries no single commencement date — it has effect for the tax year — so effective_from is 6 April 2026 from art 1(2). The prior figure's start date is marked pending backfill.
