 "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). 4 of the 15 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 11 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 1 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 % (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences), so N counts sources, never sentences; 41 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): one row per refund fraction (6/7, 5/7, 2/3, full) x the tax account the distribution is made from (Maltese Taxed, Foreign Income, Immovable Property, Final Tax, Untaxed) x the income class, each quoted verbatim from the Act with its article and effective date, joined to the 35% chargeable rate to give the EFFECTIVE rate the shareholder ends on and the cash the refund is worth per EUR 100,000 distributed; beside it the claim clock a claimant actually feels - the deadline to claim, the statutory period the Commissioner has to pay, and the 0.33% per month that accrues in the taxpayer's favour when a refund runs late. Nobody publishes the fractions, the accounts and the payment clock as one computable table with the authority beside each cell; the advisory firms publish the 5% headline and stop.",
