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

466 Meaning of “settled property” etc

(1) This section applies for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts, except so far as, in those Acts, the context otherwise requires. (2) “Settled property” means any property held in trust other than property excluded by subsection (3). (3) Property is excluded for the purposes of subsection (2) if— (a) it is held by a person as nominee for another person, (b) it is held by a person as trustee for another person who is absolutely entitled to the property as against the trustee, or (c) it is held by a person as trustee for another person who would be absolutely entitled to the property as against the trustee if that other person were not an infant or otherwise lacking legal capacity. (4) References, however expressed, to property comprised in a settlement are references to settled property. (5) A person is absolutely entitled to property as against a trustee if the person has the exclusive right to direct how the property is to be dealt with (subject to the trustees' right to use the property for the payment of duty, taxes, costs or other outgoings). (6) References to a person who is or would be so entitled include references to two or more persons who are or would be jointly absolutely entitled as against the trustee.

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.
