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

466 Person liable: personal representatives

(1) Personal representatives are liable for tax under this Chapter if the rights under the policy or contract are held by them and the condition in subsection (2) is met (and accordingly the gain is treated for income tax purposes as income of the personal representatives in that capacity). (2) The condition is that if an individual were liable for tax on a gain in respect of the policy or contract, section 530(1) (individual treated as having paid tax at the savings basic rate) would be disapplied as a result of— (a) section 531(1) (exceptions from section 530 for policies and contracts specified in section 531(3)), or (b) paragraph 109(2) of Schedule 2 (contracts in accounting periods beginning before 1st January 1992). (3) For cases where the condition in subsection (2) is not met, see section 664 of this Act and section 947 of CTA 2009 (under which the gain is treated as part of the aggregate income of the estate for the purposes of Chapter 6 of Part 5 of this Act and Chapter 3 of Part 10 of CTA 2009 respectively).

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.
