What to do with it
As published

270 Income charged

(1) Tax is charged under this Chapter on the full amount of the profits arising in the tax year. (2) Subsection (1) is subject to Part 8 (foreign income: special rules). (3) If, as respects an individual carrying on an overseas property business, the tax year is a split year— (a) tax is charged under this Chapter on so much of the profits referred to in subsection (1) as arise in the UK part of the tax year, and (b) the portion of the profits arising in the overseas part of the tax year is, accordingly, not chargeable to tax under this Chapter. (4) In determining how much of the profits arise in the UK part of the tax year— (a) determine first how much of the non-CAA profits arise in the UK part by apportioning the non-CAA profits between the UK part and the overseas part on a just and reasonable basis, and (b) then adjust the portion of the non-CAA profits arising in the UK part by deducting any CAA allowances for the year and adding any CAA charges for the year. (5) In subsection (4)— “CAA allowances” means allowances treated under section 250 ... of CAA 2001 (capital allowances for overseas property businesses) as an expense of the business; “CAA charges” means charges treated under that section as a receipt of the business; “non-CAA profits” means profits before account is taken of any CAA allowances or CAA charges.

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.
