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

455 Listed securities held since 26th March 2003: calculating the profit or loss on disposals

(1) A person's profit on a disposal, as calculated under section 439, is reduced by any incidental expenses incurred before 6 April 2015 by that person in connection with the disposal or the acquisition of the security that have not been deducted under section 439(4). (2) A person's loss on a disposal for the purposes of section 454 (relief for losses) is the amount by which the deductible costs exceed the amount payable on the disposal. (3) In this section the “deductible costs” means— (a) the amount paid by the person to acquire the security, and (b) the incidental expenses incurred before 6 April 2015 by that person in connection with the disposal or the acquisition. (4) Where a person re-acquires a security, any previous acquisition of it is ignored in determining the person's incidental expenses within subsection (1) or deductible costs on a subsequent disposal. (5) For the purposes of this section, no incidental expenses are treated as incurred in connection with transfers and reacquisitions within section 445(2) and (3) (transfer and immediate reacquisition of strips on 5th April).

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.
