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.

196 Excluded activities: property development

(1) This section supplements section 192(1)(g). (2) “Property development” means the development of land— (a) by a company which has, or at any time has had, an interest in the land, and (b) with the sole or main object of realising a gain from the disposal of an interest in the land when it is developed. (3) For this purpose “interest in land” means, subject to subsection (4)— (a) any estate, interest or right in or over land, including any right affecting the use or disposition of land, or (b) any right to obtain such an estate, interest or right from another which is conditional on the other's ability to grant it. (4) References in this section to an interest in land do not include— (a) the interest of a creditor (other than a creditor in respect of a rentcharge) whose debt is secured by way of mortgage, an agreement for a mortgage or a charge of any kind over land, or (b) in the case of land in Scotland, the interest of a creditor in a charge or security of any kind over land.

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.
