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

724 Special rules where benefit provided out of income of person abroad

(1) This section applies if an individual has power to enjoy income of a person abroad for the purposes of section 721 because of receiving any such benefit as is referred to in section 723(3) (benefit provided out of income of person abroad). (2) Despite anything in section 720, the individual is liable to income tax under that section for the tax year in which the benefit is received on an amount equal to the whole of the amount or value of that benefit. (3) But subsection (2) does not apply so far as it is shown that the benefit derives directly or indirectly from income by reference to which the individual has already been charged to income tax for that tax year or a previous tax year under this Chapter.

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.
