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.

420 Disregard of certain admission rights

(1) A benefit associated with a gift is ignored for the purposes of this Chapter if the benefit consists of a relevant right of admission. (2) “Right of admission” means a right which— (a) benefits the individual who makes the gift or that individual and one or more members of that individual's family (whether or not the right must be exercised by all of them at the same time), (b) authorises admission to premises or property to which the public are admitted on payment of an admission fee, and (c) authorises admission to those premises or that property without payment of the admission fee or on payment of a reduced fee. (3) A right of admission is a relevant right of admission if— (a) conditions A and B are met in relation to it, and (b) either condition C or condition D is met in relation to it. (4) Condition A is that the opportunity to make a gift and to receive the right of admission in consequence is available to the public. (5) Condition B is that the right of admission is a right granted by the charity for the purpose of viewing property preserved, maintained, kept or created by a charity for its charitable purposes. (6) The property mentioned in subsection (5) includes, in particular— (a) buildings, (b) grounds or other land, (c) plants, (d) animals, (e) works of art (but not performances), (f) artefacts, and (g) property of a scientific nature.

(8) Condition D is that— (a) a member of the public could purchase the same right of admission, and (b) the amount of the gift is greater by at least 10% than the amount the member of the public would have to pay. (9) This section needs to be read with section 421.

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.
