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.

803 Overview of Chapter 2

(1) This Chapter provides relief on income from the provision by an individual of qualifying care. The relief is referred to in this Chapter as “qualifying care relief”. (2) The form of relief depends on whether the individual's total qualifying care receipts exceed the individual's limit (see sections 807 to 811). (3) If they do not, the income is not charged to income tax (see sections 812 to 814). (4) If they do, the individual may elect for an alternative method of calculating the income (see sections 815 to 819). (5) If the qualifying care receipts are the receipts of a trade, special rules apply — (a) if the period of account of the trade does not end on 5th April (see sections 820 to 823), and (b) in relation to capital allowances (see sections 824 to 827). (6) The provisions of this Chapter which are expressed to apply in relation to trades also apply in relation to professions and vocations.

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.
