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

648 Strips of gilt-edged securities

(1) The exchange of a gilt-edged security for strips of that security is treated for the purposes of this Chapter as a transfer of the security by the person who exchanges the security. (2) But no one is treated as the transferee. (3) The exchange of strips of a gilt-edged security for a single gilt-edged security consolidating those strips is treated for the purposes of this Chapter as a transfer of the single security to the person who exchanges those strips. (4) But no one is treated as the transferor. (5) An exchange within subsection (1) or (3) is treated as a transfer without accrued interest if it is made at any time after the balance has been struck for a dividend on the security but before the day on which that dividend is payable. (6) In any other case, such an exchange is treated as a transfer with accrued interest. (7) If an exchange is treated as a transfer under subsection (1) or (3), any transaction forming part of the exchange is not itself a transfer for the purposes of this Chapter. (8) In this section “strip” has the meaning given by section 444 of ITTOIA 2005. (9) For the meaning of “gilt-edged security”, see section 1024.

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.
