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

614BN Relief for bad debts: reduction of cumulative normal rental excess

(1) This section applies if in relation to the lease for any period of account of the current lessor— (a) there is a cumulative normal rental excess, and (b) a bad debt deduction falls to be made in respect of rent from the lease. (2) If for that period— (a) the accountancy rental earnings in the case of the lease do not exceed the normal rent, and (b) the amount of the bad debt deduction exceeds the amount of that rent, the cumulative normal rental excess for that period is reduced by the amount of the excess of that deduction over that rent (but not so as to reduce the amount of that rental excess below nil). (3) Subsections (4) and (5) apply if for that period the accountancy rental earnings in relation to the lease exceed the normal rent. (4) The amount of the cumulative normal rental excess that may be set against the taxable rent for that period under section 614BK (reduction of taxable rent by the cumulative normal rental excess) is limited to the amount (if any) by which the accountancy rental earnings exceed the bad debt deduction. (5) If for that period the bad debt deduction exceeds the accountancy rental earnings, the cumulative normal rental excess for that period is reduced by the amount of the excess (but not so as to reduce the amount of that rental excess below nil). (6) In this section, in relation to a period of account of the lessor— “bad debt deduction” has the meaning given in section 614BL(6), and “taxable rent” has the meaning given in section 614BG(2).

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.
