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

638 Capital sums paid by way of loan or repayment of loan

(1) No part of a capital sum which is paid to a settlor by way of loan is treated under section 633 as the settlor's income for any tax year after the tax year in which the whole of the sum is repaid. (2) Subsection (3) applies if— (a) a capital sum is paid to the settlor by way of loan, and (b) one or more capital sums have previously been paid to the settlor by way of loan and wholly repaid. (3) The amount of the capital sum mentioned in subsection (2)(a) is treated for the purposes of section 633 as equal to the amount (if any) by which it exceeds so much of the capital sum or sums previously paid as has already been treated as the settlor's income under that section. (4) Subsection (5) applies if— (a) a capital sum is paid to the settlor by way of complete repayment of a loan, and (b) an amount not less than the capital sum is subsequently lent by the settlor to the trustees of the settlement. (5) No part of the capital sum is treated under section 633 as the settlor's income for any tax year after that in which the further loan is made.

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.
