The outlet cites investigations such as scrutiny of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', which highlights American women fighting for reproductive rights. Donations are solicited to fund reporters and to preserve free access to reporting and analysis without paywalls, relying on support from those who can afford contributions. Chancellor Rachel Reeves is considering ending the capital gains tax exemption for primary residences above a threshold to address a 40bn shortfall, potentially taxing gains at 24% for higher-rate and 18% for basic-rate taxpayers.
The chancellor is said to be looking at ending the current exemption from capital gains tax for primary residences as she seeks ways to raise cash in the face of dire warnings about the state of the public finances a move that would be seen as a mansion tax. Such a move would see higher-rate taxpayers pay 24 per cent of any gain in the value of their home, while basic rate taxpayers would be hit with an 18 per cent levy.
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.
