  "doc": "Rule table read by the last-mile-cost-calculator handler computeLastMileCost (ctx.data['last-mile-cost-calculator-rules']). It holds only legal values: what a route costs (driver, vehicle, other charges) is the person's own figure, typed in. countries.<FR|GB>.currency and distance_unit ('km' or 'mi') are the page's conventions. minimum_wage.hourly is the legal minimum gross hourly wage of an adult employee in force, as a decimal string in the country's currency: the handler warns when an hourly driver cost is above zero and below it (France: the Smic of mainland France, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Martinique, La Réunion, Saint-Barthélemy, Saint-Martin and Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon; Mayotte's own Smic is in other_rates; United Kingdom: the National Living Wage for workers aged 21 and over, with the lower rates in other_rates). mileage_rates.vehicles holds HMRC's approved mileage rates per kind of vehicle as bands of business miles in the tax year (up_to_miles null: no upper limit; rate in pounds per mile, as a decimal string); schemes says which HMRC schemes use the rate ('maps': mileage allowance payments to employees, ITEPA 2003 s.230; 'simplified-expenses': the self-employed flat rate, ITTOIA 2005 ss.94D and 94F). France has no official flat rate per kilometre for a delivery vehicle, so mileage_rates is null there and mileage_note says why. Every rule carries its legal basis, its official source_url, the source's own date (source_date), the date it was retrieved (retrieved_on), valid_from and valid_until (null: no end date set by the source). Table-level valid_from/valid_until bound the period during which this version may be relied on: the French Smic is revalued every 1 January, so the table must be reviewed again before 31 December 2026.",
