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

184 Basis of valuation of work in progress

(1) If the work in progress is transferred for money or other valuable consideration to a person who— (a) carries on, or intends to carry on, a trade, profession or vocation in the United Kingdom, and (b) is entitled to deduct the cost of the work as an expense in calculating the profits of that trade, profession or vocation for income or corporation tax purposes, the value of the work is taken to be the amount paid or other consideration given for the transfer. (2) In any other case, the value of the work is taken to be the amount which would have been paid for a transfer of the work at the time of the cessation as between independent parties dealing at arm's length. (3) These rules are subject to any election under section 185 (election for valuation at cost).

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.
