What to do with it
As published

243 Extent of charge to tax

(1) A post-cessation receipt is chargeable to tax under this Chapter only so far as it is not otherwise chargeable to income or corporation tax. (2) Accordingly, a post-cessation receipt arising from a trade is not chargeable to tax under this Chapter so far as it is brought into account in calculating the profits of the trade for any period. (3) A post-cessation receipt is not chargeable to tax under this Chapter if— (a) it is received by or on behalf of a non-UK resident who is beneficially entitled to it, and (b) it represents income arising outside the United Kingdom. (4) A post-cessation receipt is not chargeable to tax under this Chapter if it arises from a trade carried on wholly outside the United Kingdom, other than a person's trade of dealing in or developing UK land. (5) A post-cessation receipt is not chargeable to tax under this Chapter in the case of a partner in a firm if— (a) it represents income arising outside the United Kingdom from a trade carried on by the firm, and (b) the partner's share of the firm's income arising out of the United Kingdom is treated as relevant foreign income by section 857(3) (partners to whom the remittance basis applies). (6) If the tax year is a split year as respects a UK resident individual, this section has effect as if, for the overseas part of that year, the individual were non-UK resident.

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.
