So why don't you plan ahead now so that you won't have to scramble at the end of the year? Literally nothing has changed and we just got fairly reliable confirmation that in all likelihood nothing will change for the rest of the year. So you can simply disregard any potential changes coming in 2027 and plan for 2026 as you normally would.
