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

257HA Identification of shares on a disposal

(1) The rules in subsections (2) and (3) are for determining which shares of any class are treated as disposed of for the purposes of— (a) section 257FA (disposal of shares), or (b) section 257H (spouses or civil partners), if the investor disposes of some but not all of the shares of that class which the investor holds in a company. (2) Shares acquired on an earlier day are treated as disposed of before shares acquired on a later day. (3) Shares acquired on the same day are treated as disposed of in the following order— (a) first any to which no SEIS relief is attributable, (b) next any to which SEIS relief (but not SEIS re-investment relief) is attributable, and (c) next any to which SEIS relief and SEIS re-investment relief are attributable. (4) Any shares to which SEIS relief is attributable and which were transferred to an individual as mentioned in section 257H are treated for the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) as acquired by the individual on the day on which they were issued. (5) In a case to which section 127 of TCGA 1992 applies (including the case where that section applies by virtue of an enactment relating to chargeable gains), shares included in the new holding are treated for the purposes of subsections (2) and (3) as acquired when the original shares were acquired. (6) In this section— “new holding” and “original shares” have the same meaning as in section 127 of TCGA 1992 (or, as the case may be, that section as applied by the enactment concerned); “SEIS re-investment relief” means relief under Schedule 5BB to TCGA 1992.

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.
