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

715 Interest from FOTRA securities held on trust

(1) This section applies if— (a) a FOTRA security is held on trust, and (b) apart from this section, interest payable on the security would not be exempt from income tax under section 714 because of the security not being in the beneficial ownership of a non-UK resident person. (2) For the purposes of determining whether the interest is exempt under section 714 it is to be assumed that the security is in the beneficial ownership of a non-UK resident person if none of the beneficiaries of the trust is UK resident for the tax year in which the interest arises. (3) In subsection (2) “beneficiaries of the trust” includes any person known to the trustees as a person— (a) who is, or will or may become, entitled under the terms of the trust to receive income under the trust, or (b) to whom or for whose benefit such income may be paid or applied. (4) In subsection (3) “income under the trust” includes any property held on the terms of the trust and falling to be treated as capital so far as it is or represents amounts received by the trustees as income.

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.
