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

514 Chargeable events where transaction-related calculations show gains

(1) If the calculation in section 511 shows that a relevant transaction resulted in a gain arising on the policy or contract, the relevant transaction is treated as a chargeable event. (2) Subsection (1) is subject to section 485(5) (which restricts the circumstances in which such events occur in relation to qualifying policies). (3) Subsection (4) applies if— (a) a relevant transaction that is a chargeable event occurs in a different tax year from that in which the insurance year ends, and (b) apart from subsection (4), a person would be liable to tax on the gain under this Chapter for the tax year in which the transaction occurs. (4) The gain is charged to tax under this Chapter for the tax year in which the insurance year ends instead. (4A) Subsection (3)(b) includes a case where a person would be liable to tax on the gain under section 465B for the tax year in which the transaction occurs (because the transaction occurs in the year of return, as defined in that section). (5) If the relevant transaction occurs in the final insurance year, the chargeable event within subsection (1) is treated as occurring before the chargeable event that ends that 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.

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.
