What to do with it
As published

521 Gifts entitling donor to gift aid relief: income tax liability and exemption

(1) This section applies if gifts are made to charitable trusts by individuals and the gifts are qualifying donations for the purposes of Chapter 2 of Part 8 (gift aid). (2) Income tax is charged on the gifts under this section. (3) It is charged on the grossed up amount of the gifts arising in the tax year. (4) But a gift is not taken into account in calculating total income so far as it is applied to charitable purposes only. (5) The grossed up amount of a gift is the amount of the gift grossed up by reference to the basic rate for the tax year in which the gift is made. (6) The trustees of the charitable trust are liable for any tax charged under this section. (7) Schedule 19 to FA 2008 contains provision for transitional payments to charitable trusts in respect of gifts made in the tax years 2008-09 to 2010-11.

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.
