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.

As published

495 Disregard of certain amounts in calculating gains under section 491

(1) A retained replacement policy premium is ignored in calculating— (a) the total benefit value of a policy under section 492(1), or (b) the total allowable deductions for a policy under section 494(1). (2) In subsection (1) “retained replacement policy premium” means a sum which— (a) has been payable under a policy which is one of two or more policies treated as a single policy under section 542(1) (qualifying policies and policies replacing them), and (b) is such a sum as is mentioned in section 542(4) and meets the condition in that section. (3) For the purposes of section 492(1)(b) and (c) (total benefit value: capital sums and benefits paid or conferred before the event in question), any sum paid or benefit conferred under a policy is ignored if it is attributable to a person's disability. (4) For the purposes of section 492(1)(f) (total benefit value: assignments), a share assigned before the event is ignored if— (a) it was assigned in an insurance year (see section 499) that began on or after 6th April 2001, and (b) it was not assigned for money or money's worth. (5) The reference to the policy in subsection (3) includes any related policy.

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.
