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.

What to do with it
As published

819 Adjustment of assessment

(1) This section applies if— (a) an individual does not make an election under section 818 for a tax year on or before the date for making the election, and (b) an adjustment is made after that date to the profits from the individual's provision of qualifying care on which the individual is liable to tax for the tax year. (2) The individual may make an election under this section to apply the alternative method of calculating profits given in sections 816 and 817 for the tax year. (3) The election— (a) must specify that tax year, and (b) has effect for that tax year (unless withdrawn by notice given by the individual). (4) An election or notice of withdrawal under this section must be made or given to the Inland Revenue on or before— (a) the first anniversary of the normal self-assessment filing date for the tax year in which the adjustment is made, or (b) such later date as the Inland Revenue may, in a particular case, allow.

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.
