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

148DA “Starting value”: general

(1) This section is about the meaning of “starting value” in section 148D in relation to a long funding operating lease (“the section 148D lease”). (2) But this section does not apply if the conditions in section 148DB(2) (“starting value” where plant or machinery originally unqualifying) are met. (3) If the only use of the plant or machinery by the lessor has been the leasing of it under the section 148D lease as a qualifying activity, the starting value is the amount of the expenditure incurred by the lessor on the provision of the plant or machinery (“cost”). (4) If subsection (3) does not apply, the starting value depends on the last previous use of the plant or machinery by the lessor. (5) If that use was the leasing of it under another long funding operating lease as a qualifying activity, the starting value is the market value of the plant or machinery at the commencement of the term of the section 148D lease (“market value”). (6) If that use was the leasing of it under a long funding finance lease as a qualifying activity, the starting value is the value at which the plant or machinery is recognised in the books or other finance records of the lessor at the commencement of the term of the section 148D lease. (7) If that use was for the purposes of a qualifying activity other than leasing under a long funding lease, the starting value is the lower of cost and market value. (8) For the meaning of “qualifying activity”, see section 148J(2).

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.
