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

710 Treatment of shares where annual acquisition limit exceeded

(1) This section sets out the rules for determining which shares whose market value is relevant for the limit in section 709(4) are treated as shares acquired within that limit (“exempt shares”) where that limit is exceeded in a tax year. (2) Shares are treated as exempt shares so far as their acquisition does not cause the limit to be exceeded at the time they are acquired. (3) Subsection (2) is subject to subsection (4). (4) If shares of different descriptions acquired on the same day cause the limit to be exceeded on that day, shares of each description are treated as exempt shares so far as their market value does not exceed the appropriate proportion of the available value. (5) In subsection (4)— “the appropriate proportion”, in relation to shares of a particular description, means the proportion which their market value bears to the market value of all the shares acquired on that day, and “available value” means the maximum value of shares which could be acquired on that day without exceeding the limit.

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.
