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

510 Requirement for transaction-related calculations in certain part surrender and assignment cases

(1) This section applies if— (a) the calculation in section 507 shows that a gain has arisen as at the end of the insurance year, but (b) one or both of the conditions specified in section 509(3) and (4) are met (and so no chargeable event is treated as occurring at the end of the year under section 509). (2) A calculation is to be made in accordance with section 511 in relation to each relevant transaction during the insurance year to determine— (a) whether the transaction resulted in a gain arising on the policy or contract, and (b) if so, the amount of the gain. (3) In this section and sections 511 to 514 “relevant transaction” means— (a) a surrender of part of or a share in the rights under the policy or contract, or (b) an assignment of such a part or share for money or money's worth. (4) If two or more relevant transactions occurred during the insurance year, a calculation in accordance with section 511 is to be made in relation to each of them successively in the order in which they occurred. (5) A calculation falling to be made in accordance with section 511 in relation to a relevant transaction occurring in the final insurance year is to be made before any calculation under section 491 for the chargeable event that ends that year. (6) But, in the case of a relevant transaction so occurring, subsections (2) and (4) are subject to section 513(5) (under which those subsections do not apply to some such relevant transactions).

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.
