People and Business: High-flying tax
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.HEARTWARMING to hear that two parts of DaimlerChrysler will definitely not be merging and not be subject to group criteria on performance and profitability - each company's private airline. Just as well, as Chrysler plans to splash out on a new Airbus later this year.
The Daimler staff are quite happy about the plan. Their tax advisers say the eight hours spent in flight between the offices qualify for the 180 days a year they must spend out of Germany to qualify for a tax break.
