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

501 Non-UK resident beneficiaries

(1) This section applies if— (a) expenses of the trustees are to be used to reduce the beneficiary's income for income tax purposes, and (b) a proportion of the beneficiary's income is untaxed income (see section 502). (2) A proportion of those expenses is not to be so used. (3) That proportion is the same as the proportion of the beneficiary's income which is untaxed income. (4) In subsection (3) the references to the beneficiary's income and untaxed income do not, in either case, include so much (if any) of that income as is equal to the amount of income tax, or of any foreign tax, for which the trustees are liable on that income. (5) “Foreign tax” means any tax which— (a) is of a similar character to income tax, and (b) is imposed by the laws of a territory outside the United Kingdom.

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.
