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.

As published

213 Value received by the investor

(1) This section applies if the investor receives any value from the issuing company at any time in period C relating to the relevant shares. (2) Any EIS relief attributable to the shares must— (a) if it is greater than the amount given by the formula set out below, be reduced by that amount, and (b) in any other case, be withdrawn. The formula is— R × EISR where— R is the amount of the value received by the investor, and EISR is the EIS original rate. (3) This section is subject to the following sections— (a) section 214 (value received: receipts of insignificant value), (b) section 218 (value received where there is more than one issue of shares), (c) section 219 (value received where part of share issue treated as made in previous tax year), (d) section 220 (cases where maximum EIS relief not obtained), (e) section 221 (receipts of value by and from connected persons etc), and (f) section 222 (receipt of replacement value). Sections 218 to 220 are to be applied in the order in which they appear in this Part. (4) Value received is to be ignored, for the purposes of this section, to the extent to which EIS relief attributable to the shares has already been withdrawn or reduced on its account. (5) For the purposes of this section and sections 214 to 223, an individual who acquires any relevant shares on such a transfer as is mentioned in section 245 (spouses or civil partners) is treated as the investor.

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.
