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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

820 Periods of account not ending on 5th April

(1) Sections 822 and 823 (which deal with the period of account of a trade not ending on 5th April) apply if— (a) an individual qualifies for qualifying care relief for a tax year, (b) the individual's qualifying care receipts for the tax year are the receipts of a trade, and (c) the period of account in which those receipts accrue does not end on 5th April in the tax year. (2) Where the profits of the trade are required under section 24A to be calculated on the cash basis, any reference in this section or sections 821 to 823 to the period of account in which receipts accrue is to be read as a reference to the period of account in which receipts are received.

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.
