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

152 Consolidation of gilt strips

(2) Each strip is treated as having been redeemed at the time of the exchange by payment to the trader of its market value. (3) The trader is treated as having acquired the gilt-edged security for an amount equal to the total of the market values of the strips given in exchange. (4) In this section references to market value are to market value at the time of the exchange. (5) This section applies to professions and vocations as it applies to trades. (6) See also— section 153 (meaning of “gilt-edged security” and “strip”), and section 154 (regulations for determining market value of securities or strips).

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.
