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

257QK Insignificant payments ignored for the purposes of section 257QJ

(1) A repayment is ignored for the purposes of section 257QJ if both— (a) the market value of the shares to which it relates (“the target shares”) immediately before the event occurs, and (b) the amount received by the member in question, are insignificant in relation to the market value of the remaining issued share capital of the social enterprise, or (as the case may be) the subsidiary, immediately after the event occurs. This is subject to subsection (3). (2) For the purposes of subsection (1) it is to be assumed that the target shares are cancelled at the time the repayment is made. (3) Subsection (1) does not apply if repayment arrangements are in existence at any time in the period— (a) beginning 12 months before the investment date, and (b) ending at the end of the investment date. (4) For this purpose “repayment arrangements” means arrangements which provide— (a) for a repayment by the social enterprise or any subsidiary of the social enterprise (whether or not it is such a subsidiary at the time the arrangements are made), or (b) for anyone to be entitled to such a repayment, at any time in the longer applicable period.

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.
