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

639 Small holdings: individuals

(1) In relation to a transfer with accrued interest or transfer without accrued interest, an individual is an excluded transferor or excluded transferee unless the nominal value of securities held by the individual exceeds £5,000 on any day— (a) in the tax year in which the interest period ends, or (b) in the previous tax year. (2) In relation to a transfer with unrealised interest, an individual is an excluded transferor or excluded transferee unless the nominal value of securities held by the individual exceeds £5,000 on any day— (a) in the tax year in which the settlement day falls, or (b) in the previous tax year. (3) In relation to a transfer of variable rate securities, an individual is an excluded transferor unless the nominal value of securities held by the individual exceeds £5,000 on any day in the relevant tax year or the previous tax year. (4) In subsection (3) “the relevant tax year” means— (a) if the settlement day falls in an interest period, the tax year in which the interest period ends, or (b) otherwise, the tax year in which the settlement day falls. (5) For the purposes of this section, if— (a) an individual holds securities at a particular time, and (b) any interest on them which became payable at that time would be treated for income tax purposes as part of another individual's income, each of those individuals is treated as holding at that time the securities which the other holds, as well as those which that individual actually holds.

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.
