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.

What to do with it
As published

457 Payments to trade unions

(1) An individual who makes a payment to a trade union in a tax year is entitled to relief for the tax year if— (a) part of the payment (the “qualifying amount”) is attributable to the provision of superannuation, life insurance or funeral benefits, (b) the individual meets the requirements of section 460 (residence etc), and (c) the individual makes a claim. (2) The amount of the relief is equal to half the qualifying amount. (3) But the maximum amount of relief under this section to which an individual is entitled for a tax year is £100. (4) 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). (5) “Trade union” has the meaning given by section 1 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 (c. 52).

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.
