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.

450 Other persons: payments ineligible for relief

(1) This section sets out the circumstances in which a payment to which section 449 applies, or part of it, is ineligible for relief. (2) The payment is ineligible for relief if, or so far as, it can lawfully be made only out of— (a) capital, or (b) income that is exempt from income tax. (3) If the payment or any part of it is charged to capital, the payment or that part is ineligible for relief. (4) If— (a) the person who makes the payment treats it or any part of it as made out of income that is exempt from income tax, and (b) the rights or obligations of any person are or may in the future be different from what they would have been if the payment or part had not been so treated, the payment, or the part concerned, is ineligible for relief. (5) If the payment or a part of it is not ultimately borne by the person who makes it, the payment or the part concerned is ineligible for relief. (6) But subsection (5) does not apply to a payment or part of a payment if— (a) the person who makes the payment is liable to income tax on an amount, and (b) it is because the person receives that amount or benefits from it in some other way that the payment or the part concerned is not ultimately borne by that person.

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.
