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.

(4) If an individual provides qualifying care for an adult or child during an income period for only part of a week, the part is treated as a whole week. (5) If an income period begins or ends during a week, the week is treated as falling within the income period ending during the week. But if there is no such income period, the week is treated as falling within the income period beginning during the week. (6) A week is a period of 7 days beginning with a Monday.

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.
