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

423 Restriction of certain reliefs

(1) This section applies if— (a) an individual makes one or more gifts to charities in a tax year which are qualifying donations, and (b) amount A is greater than amount B. (2) In this section— “amount A” means the total amount of the tax treated as deducted from the gifts under section 414, and “amount B” means the total amount of income tax and capital gains tax to which the individual is charged for the tax year (before applying this section). (3) For the purposes of this section, the total amount of income tax to which the individual is charged for the tax year is the amount calculated in accordance with section 425. (4) The individual's entitlement to the reliefs mentioned in subsection (5) is extinguished, so far as is necessary to ensure that the total amount of income tax and capital gains tax to which the individual is charged for the tax year (after applying this section)— (a) is equal to amount A, or (b) if that is not possible, falls short of amount A by as little as possible. (5) The reliefs are— (a) an allowance under Chapter 2 of Part 3 of this Act ... (personal allowance and blind person's allowance), (b) a tax reduction under Chapter 3 of Part 3 of this Act ... (tax reductions for married couples and civil partners), and (c) relief under section 457 or 458 of this Act ... (payments to trade unions and police organisations), ...

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.
