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.

What to do with it
As published

523 Payments from other charities: income tax liability and exemption

(1) This section applies to payments which— (a) are received by charitable trusts from other charities, (b) are not made for full consideration in money or money's worth, (c) are not charged to income tax, apart from this section, and (d) are not of a description which (on a claim) would be exempt from income tax under any of the exemptions conferred by this Part. (2) This section does not apply to a payment which arises from a source outside the United Kingdom. (3) Income tax is charged under this section on the payments. (4) It is charged on the full amount of the payments arising in the tax year. (5) But a payment is not taken into account in calculating total income so far as it is applied to charitable purposes only. (6) The amount charged under this section in the case of certain payments made by the trustees of a charitable trust in the exercise of a discretion is subject to section 494 (grossing up of discretionary payments from trusts). (7) The trustees of the charitable trust are liable for any tax charged under this section.

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.
