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.

Japanese apologise to Sun: Now Inland Revenue apologises to The Independent

The Inland Revenue yesterday issued the first apology over its new system of tax self-assessment, admitting to The Independent that it was still sending out tax bills with just a week to go before deadline.

It said that anyone who received a tax bill after the 31 January deadline and was therefore issued with a fine - amounting to 5 per cent of their bill - could appeal. Page 22
