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

661 Successive transfers with unrealised interest in default

(1) The amount taken as the unrealised interest value for the purposes of section 660(2) or (3) is reduced if the person (“T”) who makes the transfer referred to in section 660(1) also acquired the securities with the right to receive unrealised interest. (2) The amount of the reduction depends on whether subsection (3) applies. (3) This subsection applies if— (a) T has received, as transferee, some or all of that unrealised interest, and (b) T is liable for income tax on it for the tax year in which it was received. (4) If subsection (3) applies, the reduction is equal to the value on the day of the transfer to T of the right to receive the unrealised interest (“the earlier value”) less the total so received. (5) If subsection (3) does not apply, the reduction is equal to the earlier value. (6) But if the reduction under subsection (4) or (5) exceeds the amount mentioned in subsection (1), that amount is treated as reduced to nil.

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.
