Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Tax rules for multinationals will be changed and modernised in the next Budget. The aim of these changes is to make the tax provisions more effective, to allow them to be applied more fairly, and to protect UK tax revenue.

Under the new rules, taxpayers will now be required to apply the arms'- length basis for transfer prices in calculating taxable profits in tax returns. And UK companies will be required to include amounts chargeable under the controlled foreign company rules in their tax returns.

The Government said that these changes would strengthen current legislation and bring it into line with modern practice in other major countries. The changes will also contribute towards the drive against tax avoidance.
