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

193 Disposal of know-how if trade continues to be carried on

(1) This section applies if— (a) a person carrying on a trade receives consideration for the disposal of know-how which has been used in the trade, (b) the person continues to carry on the trade after the disposal, and (c) neither section 194 (disposal of know-how as part of disposal of all or part of a trade) nor section 195 (seller controlled by buyer etc.) applies. (2) The amount or value of the consideration is treated for all purposes as a trading receipt, except so far as it is brought into account under section 462 of CAA 2001 (disposal values). (3) If the know-how is sold together with other property, the net proceeds of the sale of the know-how are treated as being so much of the net proceeds of the sale of all the property as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, is attributable to the know-how. (4) For this purpose all property sold as a result of one bargain is treated as sold together even though— (a) separate prices are, or purport to be, agreed for separate items of that property, or (b) there are, or purport to be, separate sales of separate items of that property. (5) Any question about the way in which a sum is to be apportioned under this section must be determined in accordance with section 563(2) to (6) of CAA 2001 (procedure for determining certain questions affecting two or more persons) if it materially affects two or more taxpayers. (6) For this purpose a question materially affects two or more taxpayers if at the time when the question falls to be determined it appears that the determination is material to the liability to tax (for whatever period) of two or more persons.

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.

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.
