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

465 Person liable: individuals

(1) An individual is liable for tax under this Chapter if the individual is UK resident for the tax year in which the gain arises and condition A, B or C is met. (1A) But if the tax year is a split year as respects the individual, the individual is not liable for tax under this Chapter in respect of gains arising in the overseas part of that year (subject to section 465B). (2) Condition A is that the individual beneficially owns the rights under the policy or contract in question. (3) Condition B is that those rights are held on non-charitable trusts which the individual created. (4) Condition C is that those rights are held as security for the individual's debt. (5) For the purposes of calculating the total income of an individual liable for tax under this Chapter, the amount charged is treated as income. (6) References in this Chapter to trusts which an individual created include references to trusts arising under any of the following provisions (and references to a settlor or to a person creating trusts are to be read accordingly)— (a) section 11 of the Married Women's Property Act 1882 (c. 75), (b) section 2 of the Married Women's Policies of Assurance (Scotland) Act 1880 (c. 26), and (c) section 4 of the Law Reform (Husband and Wife) Act (Northern Ireland) 1964 (c. 23 (N.I.)). (7) For the right of an individual to recover certain amounts from the trustees of non-charitable trusts, see section 538 (recovery of tax from trustees).

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.
