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.

804A Shared lives care: further condition for relief

(1) This section applies if an individual (“N”) has qualifying care receipts for a tax year in respect of the provision of shared lives care. (2) N does not qualify for qualifying care relief in respect of those receipts if the placement cap is exceeded for the residence (or any of the residences) used by N to provide the care from which those receipts are derived. (3) The placement cap is exceeded for a residence if, at any given time during the relevant period, shared lives care is being provided there (whether by N or anyone else) for more than 3 people in total. (4) The relevant period, in relation to a residence, is the period for which the residence is N's only or main residence during the income period for the receipts (see section 805). (5) If the placement cap is so exceeded but N also has qualifying care receipts for the tax year in respect of the provision of foster care, this Chapter is to apply to N for the tax year as if— (a) references to qualifying care were to foster care, and (b) accordingly, references (other than in this section) to qualifying care receipts did not include receipts in respect of the provision of shared lives care. (6) In determining the number of people for whom shared lives care is being provided at any given time, brothers and sisters (including half-brothers and half-sisters) count as one person.

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.
