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.

476 How to work out whether settlor meets condition C

(1) This section applies for the purpose of working out whether a settlor (“S”) in relation to a settlement meets condition C at a time. (2) If— (a) the settlement arose on S's death (whether by S's will, on S's intestacy or in any other way), and (b) immediately before S's death, S was UK resident ... ..., then S meets condition C from the time of S's death until S ceases to be a settlor in relation to the settlement. (3) If— (a) the settlement is not within subsection (2)(a), and (b) at a time when S made the settlement (or is treated for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts as making the settlement), S was UK resident ... ..., then S meets condition C from that time until S ceases to be a settlor in relation to the settlement. (3ZA) In relation to a settlement— (a) that arose before 6 April 2025 on S’s death, or (b) that S made (or is treated for the purposes of the Income Tax Acts as having made) before 6 April 2025, subsections (2)(b) and (3)(b) have effect as if after “UK resident” there were inserted “or domiciled in the United Kingdom”. (3A) Section 835BA (deemed domicile) applies for the purposes of subsection (3ZA). (4) Further, if— (a) there is a transfer of property in relation to which section 471 applies, (b) S is a settlor in relation to settlement 2 as a result of that section, and (c) immediately before the disposal by the trustees of settlement 1, S meets condition C as a settlor in relation to settlement 1 as a result of this section, then S meets condition C as a settlor in relation to settlement 2 from the time S becomes such a settlor until S ceases to be such a settlor. (5) “Settlement 1” and “settlement 2” are to be read in accordance with section 470(1).

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.
