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.

As published

448 Relief for individuals

(1) This section applies to a payment made in a tax year if— (a) the person who makes it is an individual, (b) a sum representing income tax is required by section 900(2) ... (deduction from annual payments ...) to be deducted from it, and (c) the payment is not deductible in calculating the individual's income from any source. (2) The individual is entitled to relief for the tax year equal to the gross amount of the payment. (3) But this is subject to the restrictions in subsection (4) .... (4) The total amount of relief given under this section to an individual for a tax year cannot be greater than the amount of the individual's modified net income for the tax year (see section 1025). (5) The relief is given by deducting the amount of the relief in calculating the individual's net income for the tax year (see Step 2 of the calculation in section 23).

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.
