Propose a change

Finance Act 1940

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

What to do with it
As published

35 Computation of profits and capital in the case of trades and businesses not falling within Case I of Schedule D.

Any reference in the Seventh Schedule to the Finance (No. 2) Act, 1939, or in the provisions of this or any other Act which relate to the computation of capital or profits for the purposes of excess tax, to a deduction which has been allowed, is allowable or authorised, or can be made, under any provision of the Income Tax Acts or in computing profits for the purposes of income tax, or to any additional percentage allowable under any provision of the Income Tax Acts, shall be construed, in relation to profits arising from a trade or business which are not chargeable to income tax under Case I of Schedule D, as a reference to a deduction which would have been so allowed, allowable or authorised, or could have been so made, or to an additional percentage which would have been so allowable, if those profits had been chargeable to income tax under the said Case I.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
