"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."
"The Tour Operators Margin Scheme, designed to significantly reduce the VAT paid by tour operators and holiday coach trips, was being misused by online minicab firms. The Treasury said these firms were illegitimately using a niche scheme to avoid tax. Chancellor Rachel Reeves said in a statement: We're putting the brakes on the illegitimate use of a niche tax scheme to protect everyday cabbies. The scheme permits travel and holiday businesses to only pay VAT on the profit they make on package trips."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech by sending journalists to developing stories and producing documentaries that spotlight civic issues. Donations fund on-the-ground reporting and sustain free access to reporting and analysis without paywalls, funded by those who can afford it. The Treasury found online minicab firms were misusing the Tour Operators Margin Scheme to avoid VAT by claiming only profit on package trips. The government moved to enforce higher taxes after determining illegitimate use. The move aims to protect black cab drivers who face competition while paying the full 20% VAT.
