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.

(2) The events are that— (a) the amount or part of it ceases to be unremittable, (b) the amount or part of it is used to finance expenditure or investment outside the United Kingdom, (c) the amount or part of it is applied outside the United Kingdom in another way, (d) the amount or part of it is exchanged for, or discharged by, an amount that is not unremittable, (e) a deduction is allowed in respect of the amount or part of it under section 35 (bad and doubtful debts), and (f) if the amount is an amount owed, a payment under a contract of insurance is received in relation to the amount or part of it. (3) The amount or the part of it in question is brought into account as a receipt in calculating the profits of the trade for the period of account in which the event occurs, but only so far as— (a) it has been deducted from profits under section 189, and (b) it has not already been brought into account as a receipt in calculating the profits of the trade as a result of this section.

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.
