A different GDP base is a different ruler: never joined across bundles. The budget estimate for 2025-26 divides by the budget's own GDP projection. Stages, from the printed table's own note: accounts to 2023-24, the revised estimate for 2024-25 and the budget estimate for 2025-26, each in its own series (suffix __re and __be), never one line.
