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.

630 Exception for gifts to charities

(1) The rule in section 629(1) does not apply to any qualifying income which arises under a UK trust if— (a) it is given by the trustees to a charity in the tax year in which it arises, or (b) it is income to which a charity is entitled under the terms of the trust. (2) Subsection (3) applies if in any tax year qualifying income which arises under a UK trust from different sources exceeds the total of— (a) the amount of that income which falls within subsection (1), and (b) the amount of that income which falls within section 628(1) (comparable exception for income where settlor retains an interest). (3) The amount of the qualifying income from different sources which falls within subsection (1) above is rateably apportioned between those sources. (4) This does not affect the operation of any requirement that the whole, or any specified part, of the income from a particular source is to be given to a charity. (5) In this section “charity”, “qualifying income” and “UK trust” have the same meaning as in section 628.

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.
