Currently, when a simulation branches, we can choose to either:
Clone the tax-benefit system (policy) to make it fully independent from the original TBS (at a cost of the TBS initialisation, often a few seconds)
Leave attached to the original TBS
For labour and capital gains responses, we need to create branches to measure marginal tax rates. In those branches, we have to neutralise the behavioural response variables (in order to avoid an infinite loop). Neutralisation is a change to the tax benefit policy, not the simulation data, so we need to clone the TBS. But we could implement an alternative neutralisation as a change to data not policy, by saying that instead of:
Neutralise(variable) -> adjust the simulation logic to always return 0
Neutralise(variable) -> set the simulation input data to include an array of zeros (size of entity population)
Then the LSR and CG branches wouldn't need to clone the TBS.
