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.

As published

564I Purchase and resale arrangements

(1) In the case of purchase and resale arrangements, so much of the second purchase price as is specified under the following provisions of this section is alternative finance return for the purposes of this Part. (2) If under the arrangements the whole of the second purchase price is paid on one day, the alternative finance return equals the amount by which the second purchase price exceeds the first purchase price. (3) If under the arrangements the second purchase price is paid by instalments, the alternative finance return in each instalment equals the appropriate amount. (4) The appropriate amount is an amount equal to the interest which would have been included in the instalment on the assumptions in subsection (5). (5) The assumptions are that— (a) interest is payable on a loan by the first purchaser to the second purchaser of an amount equal to the first purchase price, (b) the total interest payable on the loan is equal to the amount by which the second purchase price exceeds the first purchase price, (c) the instalment is a part repayment of the principal of the loan with interest, and (d) the loan is made on arm's length terms and accounted for under generally accepted accounting practice. (6) In this section expressions used in section 564C have the same meaning as in that 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.
