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.

What to do with it
As published

257QC Value received where part of investment treated as made in previous tax year

(1) Subsection (2) applies if— (a) section 257Q(1) applies to a receipt, and (b) section 257JA(1) and (2) apply as if part of the amount invested had been invested in a previous tax year. (2) The calculation under section 257Q(2) in relation to that receipt is to be made as follows— Step 1 Apportion the amount referred to as “V” between the tax year in which the investment was made and the preceding tax year by multiplying that amount by— AB where— A is the part of the amount invested on which the investor obtains SI relief for the tax year in question, and B is the sum of— that part, and the part of the amount invested on which the investor obtains SI relief for the other tax year. Step 2 In relation to each of the amounts (“V1” and “V2”) so apportioned to the two tax years, calculate the amounts (“X1” and “X2”) that would be given by the formula if separate investments had been made in those tax years. In calculating amounts X1 and X2, apply section 257QD if appropriate but do not apply section 257QB. Step 3 Add amounts X1 and X2 together. The result is the required amount.

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.

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.
