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

845C Effect of claim, foreign employment election or foreign gain claim on losses

(1) Subsection (2) applies where— (a) an individual who carries on a relevant business wholly outside the United Kingdom makes a foreign income claim, a foreign employment election or a foreign gain claim for a tax year, (b) the individual has a loss for that tax year from the relevant business, and (c) the profits (if there were any) of the business would be qualifying foreign income for that year. (2) No relief for that loss is available in the tax year for which the claim or election is made or in any other tax year. (3) In this section “relevant business” means— (a) a trade, profession or vocation, or (b) a property business.

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.
