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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

483 Sums paid by personal representatives to trustees

(1) This section applies if, during or at the end of the administration period for an estate— (a) the personal representatives pay the trustees of a settlement a sum representing income of the personal representatives, and (b) if this Chapter had applied to personal representatives, income tax would have been charged on that income at the property trust rate, the savings trust rate or the dividend trust rate or at the trust rate. (2) The sum is treated as— (a) being paid as income, and (b) having borne income tax at the applicable rate. (3) In this section— “administration period” has the meaning given by section 653 of ITTOIA 2005, and “the applicable rate” means the rate referred to in section 663(1) of ITTOIA 2005 (the applicable rate for grossing up basic amounts of estate income).

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.
