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.

What to do with it
As published

12 Profits of mines, quarries and other concerns

(1) Profits or losses arising out of land in the case of a concern to which this section applies are calculated as if the concern were a trade. (2) Any profits arising out of the land are charged to income tax as if the concern were a trade carried on in the United Kingdom. But this does not impose a charge to tax on a non-UK resident in the case of a concern outside the United Kingdom. (3) Any losses arising out of the land are treated for the purposes of Part 4 of ITA 2007(loss relief) as losses of a trade carried on in the United Kingdom. (4) The concerns to which this section applies are— (a) mines and quarries (including gravel pits, sand pits and brickfields), (b) ironworks, gasworks, salt springs or works, alum mines or works, waterworks and streams of water, (c) canals, inland navigation, docks and drains or levels, (d) rights of fishing, (e) rights of markets and fairs, tolls, bridges and ferries, (f) railways and other kinds of way, and (g) a concern of the same kind as one specified in paragraph (b), (c), (d) or (e). (5) This section does not apply to a concern if section 10 (commercial occupation of land other than woodlands) applies to the occupation of the land out of which the profits or losses arise.

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.

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.
