Propose a change

Income Tax Act 2007

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.

129 How relief works

(1) This subsection explains how the deductions are to be made. The amount of the loss to be deducted at any step is limited in accordance with sections 24A and 25(4) and (5). Step 1 Deduct the loss in calculating the person's net income for the specified tax year. Step 2 This step applies only if the claim is made in relation to both tax years. Deduct the part of the loss not deducted at Step 1 in calculating the person's net income for the other tax year. (2) There is a priority rule if a person— (a) makes a claim for employment loss relief against general income (“the first claim”) in relation to the loss-making year, and (b) makes a separate claim in respect of a loss made in the following tax year in relation to the same tax year as the first claim. (3) The rule is that priority is given to making deductions under the first claim. (4) For this purpose a “separate claim” means— (a) a claim for employment loss relief against general income, or (b) a claim for trade loss relief against general income (see sections 64 to 70).

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.
