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.

280D The no business acquisition condition

(1) This section applies for the purposes of the no business acquisition condition. (2) Where a company makes an investment in another company (“the relevant company”), that investment breaches the prohibition on business acquisitions if any of the money raised by it is employed (whether on its own or together with other money) on the acquisition, directly or indirectly, of— (a) an interest in another company such that a company becomes a 51% subsidiary of the relevant company, (b) a further interest in a company which is a 51% subsidiary of the relevant company, (c) a trade, (d) intangible assets employed for the purposes of a trade, or (e) goodwill employed for the purposes of a trade. (3) The Treasury may by regulations provide that subsection (2) does not apply in relation to acquisitions of intangible assets which are of a description specified, or which occur in circumstances specified, in the regulations. (4) In this section— “goodwill” has the same meaning as in Part 8 of CTA 2009 (see section 715(3)); “intangible assets” means any asset which falls to be treated as an intangible asset in accordance with generally accepted accountancy practice; and section 280B(8) and (9) apply for the purposes of this section as they apply for the purposes of section 280B.

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.
