Step 1 Determine the amount of the individual’s income for the tax year that is liable at each relevant rate. Step 2 Attribute the amount or amounts determined at Step 1 to the deficiency, so far as possible. Step 3 Calculate the amount of the individual’s preliminary income tax liability for the tax year (see subsection (6)). Step 4 Calculate the amount of the individual’s preliminary income tax liability for the tax year again, on the assumption that each amount determined under Step 1, so far as attributed to the deficiency at Step 2, is liable at the appropriate lower rate. Step 5 Deduct the amount found at Step 4 from the amount found at Step 3. The result is the amount of the tax reduction. . (4) For subsection (7) substitute— (7) In this section— (a) “relevant rate” means a rate mentioned in the first column of the Table; (b) “the appropriate lower rate”, in relation to an amount of the individual’s income for the tax year that is liable at a relevant rate, means the rate mentioned in the second column of the Table in the same row as that relevant rate. (8) Here is the Table referred to in subsection (7)— Relevant rate | The appropriate lower rate the higher rate | the basic rate the default higher rate | the default basic rate the savings higher rate | the savings basic rate the dividend upper rate | the dividend ordinary rate the Scottish higher rate | the Scottish basic rate the Scottish advanced rate | the Scottish basic rate the Welsh higher rate | the Welsh basic rate (9) Where— (a) it is possible to carry out Step 2 in subsection (5) by attributing amounts in more than one way, and (b) the tax reductions, calculated under that subsection by carrying out that Step in those ways, are of different amounts, Step 2 is to be carried out in the way that results in the highest tax reduction. .

How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
