Revenue fights ruling
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.IAN LORIMER, the freelance television vision mixer who won his case against the Inland Revenue, which wants him to be taxed under PAYE rules, now faces another hearing in the Court of Appeal.
The Revenue is challenging the High Court's confirmation of a decision by the Special Commissioners, which allowed Mr Lorimer to receive his payments gross. It wants his various employers to deduct tax and National Insurance. The original case involved interpretation of the rules for qualifying as self- employed.
Bectu, the broadcasting and theatre union, has agreed to contribute pounds 4,000 towards the costs of the hearing in November.
