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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

743 Policies for the benefit of others who contribute to premiums

(1) This section applies if— (a) a policy of insurance is taken out by one person (“A”) wholly or partly for the benefit of another (“B”), (b) B makes payments or contributions in respect of the premiums, and (c) annual payments under the policy are wholly or partly attributable, on a just and reasonable basis, to the payments or contributions made by B. (2) So far as those benefits are so attributable, B is to be treated as the insured in relation to that policy for the purposes of sections 735 to 742. (3) So far as those benefits are so attributable, payments or contributions not made by B are ignored for the purposes of section 735(1)(b) (no part of the premiums to have been deductible in calculating the insured's 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.
