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.

263 Introduction

(1) This Chapter explains for the purposes of this Act what is meant by— (a) a person's UK property business (see section 264), and (b) a person's overseas property business (see section 265). (2) Both those sections need to be read with— (a) section 266 (which explains what is meant by generating income from land), and (b) section 267 (which provides that certain activities do not count as activities for generating income from land). (3) In the case of the property business of a firm, the basic rules in sections 264 and 265 are explained in section 859(2) and (3). (4) References in this Act to an overseas property business are to an overseas property business so far as any profits of the business are chargeable to tax under Chapter 3 (as to which see, in particular, section 269). (5) Accordingly, nothing in Chapter 4 or 5 is to be read as treating an amount as a receipt of an overseas property business if the profits concerned would not be chargeable to tax under Chapter 3. (6) In this Act “property business” means a UK property business or an overseas property business.

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.
