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

679 Interest on securities involving accrued income losses: general

(1) This section applies if— (a) a person is liable for income tax on interest on securities of any kind which is due at the end of an interest period of the securities, (b) in that period accrued income losses are made as a result of transfers of those securities, and (c) the period ends with an interest payment day. (2) No liability to income tax arises in respect of the interest to the extent that it does not exceed the losses. (3) If, apart from this subsection, a person would be entitled to the exemption under this section in more than one tax year, the person is so entitled only in the tax year in which the interest period ends. (4) For cases where the interest period does not end with an interest payment day, see section 637 (accrued income losses treated as payments in next interest period).

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.

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.
