Revenue's kinder cut
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.THE INLAND REVENUE is reducing the official loan rate on which it calculates the benefit in kind received by employees on cheap loans by their employers.
The rate will fall from 10.5 to 9.75 per cent. The benefit is calculated as the difference in interest actually paid and what would be paid at the official rate.
Those earning less than pounds 8,500 are not subject to the tax.
