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.On the whole, everyone will be better off in 2017/18 as a result of the personal allowance being increased by £500 and the basic rate band by £1,500. However, this is generally offset by employed and self-employed individuals paying additional national insurance contributions.
Pensioners, who do not pay national insurance contributions, will be particularly better off with some keeping up to £83/month in the bank compared to the current tax year.
Families will be no better or worse off as the child tax credits, working tax credits and child benefit rates are all frozen.
The outlook for 2018/19 is mixed however, particularly for self-employed individuals who will be worse off compared to 2017/18. For those individuals who make more than £125,000 of profit per year, the monthly tax savings in 2017/18 will be completely reversed so that they are in the same position as is currently the case.
