Oil soothes tax pains
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.NEILL CLERK, the Scottish solicitors who specialise in the Business Expansion Scheme, have helped to arrange a complex tax- saving investment aimed at higher rate taxpayers.
Investors are being asked to subscribe at least pounds 250,000 - a minimum of pounds 10,000 each - to the Melrose Partnerships, which will continue to develop oilfields in west Texas and New Mexico.
Tax breaks available on oil and gas projects allow investors to benefit from a range of reliefs. Those who can take full advantage of these may obtain a return of 26 per cent a year, based on an assumed oil price of dollars 20 a barrel and the gas price of dollars 1.20 per thousand cubic feet.
