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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

675 The holding of securities

(1) For the purposes of this Chapter, a person holds securities— (a) at a particular time if the person is entitled to them at that time, and (b) on a particular day if the person is entitled to them throughout that day or becomes and does not cease to be entitled to them on that day. (2) A person acquires securities when the person becomes entitled to them. (3) If a Scottish partnership carries on a trade or business— (a) any partnership dealings are treated as dealings by the partners and not by the partnership as such, and (b) the partners are treated as being entitled to securities held by the partnership.

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.
