Classify the Budget's new helper variables in the fiscal partition #2762

Open

Description

@MaxGhenis

policyengine_uk/data/fiscal_partition.yaml gives every tax and spending variable an owner, so a measurement can tell a head from a component or an assessment. Eight helpers that recent changes added have no entry on main (2da212a):

  • miscellaneous_income_trading_allowance_deduction
  • uses_trading_allowance
  • miscellaneous_income_before_trading_allowance
  • income_not_otherwise_charged
  • machine_games_standard_rate_higher_stake_net_takings
  • carers_allowance_weekly_earnings_above_limit
  • ebr_alternative_fuel_payment
  • monthly_ebr_alternative_fuel_payment

The first five belong to tax heads. The other three belong to spending heads, and the file has no section for a component of a spending head.

Two related gaps sit nearby:

The fix should list the eight helpers, add a spending_exclusions section for the last three, and add those tests. It changes no calculated amount.
