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

188 Application of Chapter

(1) This Chapter applies if— (a) an amount received by, or owed to, a person carrying on a trade (“the trader”) is brought into account as a receipt in calculating the profits of the trade, (b) the amount is paid or owed in a territory outside the United Kingdom, and (c) some or all of the amount is unremittable. (2) An amount received is unremittable if it cannot be transferred to the United Kingdom merely because of foreign exchange restrictions. (3) An amount owed is unremittable if it cannot be paid in the United Kingdom and— (a) it temporarily cannot be paid in the territory in which it is owed merely because of foreign exchange restrictions, or (b) it can be paid in that territory but, if it were paid there, the amount paid would not be transferable to the United Kingdom merely because of foreign exchange restrictions. (4) “Foreign exchange restrictions” are restrictions imposed by any of the following— (a) the laws of the territory where the amount is paid or owed, (b) executive action of its government, and (c) the impossibility of obtaining there currency that could be transferred to the United Kingdom.

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.
