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.

(1) A seller's profits from the sale of the whole or part of patent rights are— (a) any capital sum comprised in the proceeds of the sale, less (b) the deductible costs. (2) The deductible costs are— (a) the capital cost (if any) of the rights sold, and (b) any incidental expenses incurred by the seller in connection with the sale. (3) If— (a) the seller acquired the rights sold, or the rights out of which they were granted, by purchase, (b) the seller has previously sold part of the purchased rights, and (c) the proceeds of that sale, after deducting any incidental expenses, consisted wholly or partly of a capital sum, the capital cost is reduced by that capital sum. (4) References in this Chapter to the capital cost of patent rights are to any capital sum included in any price paid by the seller to purchase— (a) the rights, or (b) the rights out of which they were granted. (5) This section needs to be read with sections 600 (relief for expenses: patent income) and 603 (contributions to expenditure).

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.
