Propose a change

Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

109 Receipt by donor or connected person of benefit attributable to certain gifts

(1) This section applies if a person carrying on a trade (“the donor”) makes a gift in relation to which— (a) section 108 applies, or (b) section 63(2) of CAA 2001 applies (gifts to charities etc. of plant or machinery used in the trade), and the donor, or a person connected with the donor, receives a benefit which is in any way attributable to the making of the gift. (2) An amount equal to the value of the benefit— (a) is brought into account in calculating the profits of the trade, as a receipt of the trade arising on the date on which the benefit is received, or (b) if the donor has permanently ceased to carry on the trade before that date, is treated as a post-cessation receipt (see Chapter 18).

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.
