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.Paul Hogan, the actor best known for playing an outback hunter in the Crocodile Dundee movies, has been barred from leaving the country until he pays a multimillion-dollar tax bill.
The Australian Taxation Office served US-based Hogan with a departure prohibition order when he returned to Sydney last Friday for the funeral of his 101-year-old mother Florence, his lawyer Andrew Robinson said.
The order prevents the actor, 70, from leaving Australia until any alleged tax debts are paid or arrangements made for the tax liability to be discharged.
Hogan is under investigation over claims that he put tens of millions of dollars in film royalties in offshore tax havens, a claim which he has denied.
The tax office was reported to have served Hogan with an amended tax bill last month for tax on $37.6m (£24m) of undeclared income after a five-year fight.
