Active voice in the property income tax post

This is a wording follow-up to the live post merged in #1460 (018ea750). It applies Max's rule from tonight: use active voice in all written material.

What changes: ten sentences in uk-autumn-budget-2026-property-income-tax.md, from the voice sweep. An independent Opus reviewer passed every pair, and the same sentences changed the same way on the savings draft (#1466). For example:

  • "The additional two-point increase is measured against those existing 2027 rules." becomes "We measure the additional two-point increase against those existing 2027 rules."
  • "Monetary values are rounded only for presentation." becomes "We round monetary values only for presentation."

What doesn't change:

  • Figures, table cells, links and citations.
  • "The government's costing, certified by the OBR".
  • Any other file.

The diff has ten lines out and ten in.

Still to come: when dashboard #290 merges, the post's source links move from the pinned dashboard commit 637bb26c to dashboard main. That goes in this PR if it's still open then, or in a separate one.

Wording only, from tonight's voice sweep; no figures, tables or
citations change.

Reviewed at c188b59. All ten active-voice edits preserve the original meaning and assumptions. Figures, tables, chart JSON, links and citations are unchanged. All 20 invariant and Markdown-parser checks passed. No findings in this wording-only review.

Wording-only check at c188b596: confirmed

An independent review (GPT-6.1 Sol) found exactly one file and ten line replacements. Every numeric, £, percentage, year, link, citation and quoted-label token is unchanged, as are the tables, the chart, and "The government's costing, certified by the OBR". All ten keep their meaning, claim strength and attribution, and each is grammatical UK English. My own token comparison of the ten old and new lines matches.

Ziming approved at the same head.

Ziming merged this at 21:30:45Z as 0bbce897, a merge commit whose second parent is the reviewed head c188b596. The property article on main is identical to that head. The review above confirms it after the merge, under Max's standing go for wording-only follow-ups: "Seats merge each when green".
