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

666 Certain transfers by or to nominees or trustees treated as made by or to others

(1) Transfers of securities by or to a person as nominee for another person (“A”) are treated for the purposes of this Chapter as transfers by or to A. (2) Transfers of securities by or to a person (“T”) as trustee for another person (“B”) are treated for the purposes of this Chapter as transfers by or to B if B is absolutely entitled as against T. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2) where T is the transferor, B is absolutely entitled as against T if immediately before the transfer B has the exclusive right to direct how the securities are to be dealt with. (4) For the purposes of subsection (2) where T is the transferee, B is absolutely entitled as against T if immediately after the transfer B has that exclusive right. (5) For the purposes of subsections (3) and (4), a right to direct how securities are to be dealt with is treated as an exclusive right despite being subject to satisfying any outstanding charge, lien or other right of the trustee to resort to the securities for payment of duty, taxes, costs or other outgoings. (6) Subsection (1) applies to a transfer of securities by or to a person as nominee for two or more persons as it applies to a transfer of securities by or to a person as nominee for one person, taking the references to A as references to the two or more persons. (7) This section applies to a transfer of securities by or to a person as trustee for two or more persons as it applies to a transfer of securities as trustee for one person, taking— (a) the references to B as references to the two or more persons, and (b) the references to B being absolutely entitled as references to the two or more persons being jointly absolutely entitled. (8) The fact that a person is an infant or otherwise lacks legal capacity is to be disregarded in determining for the purposes of this section whether the person is absolutely entitled as against T.

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.
