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

487 Non-UK resident trustees

(1) This section applies if a proportion of the income arising to the trustees in the current tax year is untaxed income. (2) A proportion of the allowable expenses is excluded for the purposes of section 486. (3) That proportion is the same as the proportion of the income arising to the trustees which is untaxed income. (4) For the purposes of this section the income arising to the trustees is untaxed income so far as they are not liable to income tax on it wholly or partly because they— (a) have been non-UK resident, or (b) have been treated as resident in a territory outside the United Kingdom under double taxation arrangements. (5) If the income tax charged on the income arising to the trustees is limited under Chapter 1 of Part 14 (limits on liability to income tax of non-UK residents), the untaxed income includes so much of the income so arising which is disregarded income (within the meaning of that Chapter) except so far as the disregarded income is within subsection (6). (6) The disregarded income is within this subsection so far as— (a) sums representing income tax have been deducted from the income, or (b) sums representing income tax have been treated as deducted from or paid in respect of the income, ... (c) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

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.
