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.

637 Qualifications to section 636

(1) Section 636(2) does not apply— (a) to any interest paid by the trustees of the settlement, or (b) to any sums paid to— (i) a body corporate connected with the settlement, or (ii) the trustees of another settlement made by the settlor or by the trustees of the settlement. (2) Section 636(4) applies to any relevant interest paid by the trustees of the settlement subject to subsections (3) to (7). (3) The whole of any relevant interest paid by the trustees of the settlement is excluded from subsection (4) of section 636 if no sums within subsection (2) of that section were paid to any person other than the settlor or the spouse or civil partner of the settlor. (4) If any sum within section 636(2) was so paid, the relevant fraction of any relevant interest paid by the trustees of the settlement is excluded from section 636(4). (5) The relevant fraction is— A - B A where— A is the whole of the ... income arising under the settlement in the tax year, less the sums referred to in subsection (4) of section 636 apart from subsections (2), (3) and (6) of this section, and B is so much of the sums within subsection (2) of that section as is paid to persons other than the settlor or the spouse or civil partner of the settlor. (6) Subsections (2) to (5) do not apply to— (a) interest in respect of which relief from tax is allowable under any provision of the Income Tax Acts, or (b) interest payable to the settlor or the spouse or civil partner of the settlor if living with the settlor. (7) Nothing in subsections (2) to (6) affects the liability to tax of the person receiving or entitled to the interest. (7A) In this section “relevant interest” means interest which, in the absence of any express provision of the settlement, would be properly chargeable to ...income. (8) For the purposes of this Chapter, a body corporate is treated as connected with a settlement in any tax year if at any time in that year— (a) it is a close company (or only is not a close company because it is non-UK resident) and the participators then include the trustees of the settlement, or (b) it is controlled by a company falling within paragraph (a).

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.
