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

473 Deceased person as settlor where variation of will etc

(1) This section applies if— (a) a disposition of property following the death of a person (“D”) is varied, and (b) section 62(6) of TCGA 1992 applies in relation to the variation. (2) If— (a) property would have become comprised in a settlement within subsection (3), but (b) as a result of the variation, the property, or property derived from it, becomes comprised in another settlement, D is treated for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts (except where the context otherwise requires) as having made the other settlement. (3) A settlement is within this subsection if— (a) it arose on D's death (whether by D's will or on D's intestacy or in any other way), or (b) it was in existence immediately before D's death (whether or not D was a settlor in relation to it). (4) If— (a) immediately before the variation property is comprised in a settlement and is property of which D is a settlor, and (b) immediately after the variation the property, or property derived from it, becomes comprised in another settlement, D is treated for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts (except where the context otherwise requires) as having made the other settlement. (5) A settlement treated as made by D as a result of this section is treated for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts as made by D immediately before D's death. (6) But subsection (5) does not apply in relation to a settlement which arose on D's death.

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.

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.
