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."Lure of the havens" (Business, 21 April) reports unprecedented interest in tax havens and tax avoidance, in anticipation of a Labour victory at the next election. Over the past three years, our campaign has made a number of submissions to the Labour Party, pointing out that a property tax on land values is proof against avoidance and evasion.
Land cannot be hidden or removed to a tax haven, and it is therefore a simple matter to ensure compliance with a land value tax. In the light of your article, it is unfortunate that Labour and its advisers chose to ignore what we had to say.
