257JA Form and amount of relief

(1) If an individual— (a) is eligible for SI relief in respect of any amount, and (b) makes a claim in respect of all or some of the amount, the individual is entitled to a tax reduction for the tax year in which the amount was invested. This is subject to the provisions of this Part. (2) The amount of the reduction to which an individual is entitled under this Part for any particular tax year is the amount equal to tax, at the SI rate for that year, on— (a) the amount or, as the case may be, the sum of the amounts invested in that year in respect of which the individual is eligible for and claims SI relief, or (b) if less, £1 million. (3) The tax reduction is given effect at Step 6 in section 23. (4) If an individual— (a) is eligible for and claims SI relief in respect of an amount, and (b) makes a claim for part of that amount to be treated for the purposes of subsections (1) and (2) as if it had been invested not in the tax year in which it was actually invested but in the preceding tax year, those subsections apply, and the individual's liability to tax for both tax years is determined, in accordance with the claim. (5) In this Part “the SI rate” means 30%.

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.
