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.

(2) Condition A is that— (a) a person (“L”) is a lessee of land under a lease which has 50 years or less to run (“the original lease”), and (b) L is entitled in respect of the rent under the original lease to a deduction by way of relevant income tax relief. (3) Condition B is that— (a) L assigns the original lease to another person or surrenders it to L's landlord, and (b) the consideration for the assignment or surrender would not (apart from this Chapter) be taxable except as capital in L's hands. (4) Condition C is that— (a) another lease (“the new lease”) is granted, or assigned, to L or a person linked to L, and (b) the new lease is for a term of 15 years or less. (5) Condition D is that the new lease— (a) is of all or part of the land which was the subject of the original lease, or (b) includes all or part of the land which was the subject of the original lease. (6) Condition E is that neither L nor a person linked to L had, before 22 June 1971, a right enforceable at law or in equity to the grant of the new lease. (7) If each of conditions A to D is met but condition E is not met, see the relevant provisions in Schedule 2 to CTA 2010 and Schedule 9 to TIOPA 2010.

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.
