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.

439 Meaning of “disposal-related obligation”

(1) In this Chapter an obligation is a “disposal-related obligation”, in relation to a qualifying investment, if condition A or condition B is met in relation to it. (2) The obligation may be to any person (whether or not the individual making the disposal or a person connected with the individual). (3) Condition A is that it is reasonable to suppose that the disposal of the qualifying investment to the charity would not have been made in the absence of the obligation. (4) Condition B is that the obligation (whether in whole or in part) relates to, is framed by reference to, or is conditional on the charity receiving, the qualifying investment or a disposal-related investment. (5) In applying condition A, all the circumstances must be taken into account (including, in particular, the difference in the value of the net benefit to the charity calculated under section 437(1)(a) and that value calculated under section 437(1)(b)). (6) In subsection (4) “disposal-related investment” means any of the following— (a) an asset of the same class or description as the qualifying investment (irrespective of size, quantity or amount), (b) an asset derived from, or representing, the qualifying investment, whether in whole or in part and whether directly or indirectly, and (c) an asset from which the qualifying investment is derived, or which the qualifying investment represents, whether in whole or in part and whether directly or indirectly. (7) In this Chapter “obligation” includes a reference to each of the following— (a) a scheme, arrangement or understanding of any kind, whether or not legally enforceable, and (b) a series of obligations (whether or not between the same parties).

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.
