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

643A Benefits paid out of protected foreign-source income or transitional trust income

(1) If— (a) an individual to whom this section applies has an untaxed benefits total for a settlement for a tax year (see section 643B), (b) there is available protected income in relation to the individual, the settlement and the tax year (see section 643C), and (c) the individual is UK resident for the tax year, an amount equal to so much of the untaxed benefits total as does not exceed the available protected income is treated for income tax purposes as income of the individual for the tax year. (2) This section applies to— (a) the settlor, and (b) anyone who has at any time been a close member of the settlor’s family. (3) If there is a choice about the individuals in whose case income is to be treated as arising under subsection (1), income is to be treated as arising— (a) to such one or more of them as appears to an officer of Revenue and Customs to be just and reasonable, and (b) if more than one, in such respective proportions as appear to the officer to be just and reasonable.

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.
