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.

796 Alternative calculation of profits: trading income

(1) This section applies if the individual has any rent-a-room receipts for the tax year which are the receipts of a trade. (2) The profits of the trade for the tax year are— (a) the sum of the amount of the rent-a-room receipts for the tax year arising from the trade and the amount of any relevant balancing charge, less (b) the deductible amount. (3) The deductible amount— (a) is L if all the individual's rent-a-room receipts for the tax year arise from the trade, and (b) otherwise, is— L × T R but, in either case, subject to a maximum of T. (4) In subsection (3)— L is the individual's limit for the tax year, T is the individual's rent-a-room receipts for the tax year arising from the trade, and R is all the individual's rent-a-room receipts for the tax year. (5) In calculating the amount of any rent-a-room receipts for the purposes of this section, no deduction is allowed for expenses or any other matter.

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.
