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

385 General provisions about loans

(1) References in this Chapter to a loan being used or used in any way— (a) are references to the money lent being applied or, as the case may be, applied in that way, and (b) except in section 403 include references to a loan being used to meet expenditure already incurred or, as the case may be, already incurred on such a use. (2) Sections 392, 396, 398, 401 and 403 apply to a loan only if it is made— (a) in connection with the use of money, and (b) on the occasion of its use or within what is in the circumstances a reasonable time from its use. (3) Those sections apply to a loan only if the loan is used as mentioned in those sections without first having been used for another purpose. (4) For the purposes of this Chapter the giving of credit for any money due from the purchaser under a sale is treated as the making of a loan used by the purchaser in making the purchase.

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.
