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

513 Income charged

(1) Tax is charged under section 512 on the whole of the income— (a) which has arisen in the relevant period from the property comprised in the settlement, and (b) which has not been applied (whether or not it has been first accumulated) for a property maintenance purpose or for the benefit of a heritage body. (2) In this section “relevant period” means— (a) if tax has become chargeable under section 512 in respect of the settlement on a previous occasion, the period since the last occasion, and (b) in any other case, the period since the settlement took effect. (3) Tax charged under section 512 is in addition to any tax otherwise chargeable. (4) All the provisions of the Income Tax Acts relating to assessments and to the collection and recovery of income tax (so far as applicable) are to apply to that charge.

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.
