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.

511 Method for making transaction-related calculations under section 510

(1) This section deals with the calculation required to be made under section 510 to determine— (a) whether a relevant transaction which has occurred during an insurance year resulted in a gain arising on the policy or contract, and (b) if so, the amount of the gain. (2) There is a gain if the transaction value for the relevant transaction (see subsection (4)) exceeds the amount of available premium left for the relevant transaction as calculated in accordance with section 512. (3) The gain is equal to the excess. (4) The transaction value for the relevant transaction is the value in accordance with section 508, as at the time of its surrender or assignment, of the part of or share in the rights under the policy or contract which has been surrendered or assigned in the transaction. (5) Subsections (2) and (4) are subject to section 513(4) (under which the transaction value is to be reduced in certain cases where the relevant transaction occurs in the final insurance year).

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.
