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

510 Sums applied for property maintenance purposes

(1) This section applies if— (a) income arises from the heritage maintenance property comprised in a heritage maintenance settlement in a tax year in respect of which no election is made under section 508, (b) the income is treated under Chapter 5 of Part 5 of ITTOIA 2005 as income of the settlor, and (c) a sum in excess of the income is applied for a property maintenance purpose in the year. (2) Any such sum which is so applied in that year, which would otherwise be treated for income tax purposes as the income of a person— (a) because of the person's interest in (or occupation of) the property in respect of which the sum is applied, or (b) under section 633 of ITTOIA 2005 (capital sums paid to settlor by trustees of settlement), is not to be so treated.

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.
