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

462 When gains arise from policies and contracts

(1) For the purposes of this Chapter, a gain from a policy or contract arises when a chargeable event occurs in relation to the policy or contract (see section 484). (2) But certain chargeable events are only treated as occurring because a calculation required to be made as at a particular time shows that the gain has arisen. (3) See, in particular— (a) section 509(1) (under which a chargeable event is treated as occurring where a periodic calculation following a part surrender or assignment shows a gain), (b) section 514(1) (under which a part surrender or assignment is treated as a chargeable event where a calculation related to it shows a gain), and (c) section 525(2) (under which a chargeable event is treated as occurring where an annual personal portfolio bond calculation shows a gain).

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.
