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

540 When deficiencies arise: events following calculation events

(1) A deficiency is treated as arising from a policy or contract on a chargeable event (“the later event”) if conditions A to C are met. (2) Condition A is that the later event is an event within section 484(1)(a)(i) or (iii) or (b) to (e) (surrender of all rights, final participation in profits, death, maturity, or taking a capital sum as a complete alternative to annuity payments). (3) Condition B is that a gain from the policy or contract has arisen on a calculation event other than a personal portfolio bond event, occurring in relation to the policy or contract in question before the later event. (4) Condition C is that on the later event no gain is shown by the calculation in section 491(2) (calculation of gains for such events).

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.
