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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

497 Disregard of trivial inducement benefits

(1) A benefit other than a payment of money is ignored for the purposes of calculating any gain under this Chapter if— (a) it is provided by an insurance company for any person as an inducement for the person to enter into— (i) a policy or contract to which this Chapter applies, or (ii) a later transaction in relation to such a policy or contract, and (b) the condition specified in subsection (2) is met. (2) The condition is that the total cost to the insurance company of providing the benefit and any other such benefits provided by it at any time in connection with the policy or contract, or any linked policy or contract, does not exceed £30. (3) The Treasury may by order amend the sum for the time being specified in subsection (2) so as to increase it. (4) For the purposes of this section, a policy or contract is linked to another policy or contract if— (a) their terms are substantially identical, and (b) when one of them is issued or made the issue or making of the other is contemplated.

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.
