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

75 Trade leasing allowances given to individuals

(1) Sideways relief is not available to an individual for so much of a loss as derives from a trade leasing allowance unless the individual meets the time commitment test. (2) A trade leasing allowance is an allowance made under Part 2 of CAA 2001 in respect of— (a) expenditure incurred on the provision of plant or machinery for leasing in the course of a trade, or (b) expenditure incurred on the provision for the purposes of a trade of an asset which is not to be leased but which is fee-producing. (3) An asset is fee-producing if payments in the nature of— (a) royalties, or (b) licence fees, are to arise from rights granted by the individual in connection with the asset. (4) To meet the time commitment test conditions A and B must be met. (5) Condition A is that the individual must carry on the trade for a continuous period of at least 6 months beginning or ending in ... the tax year in which the loss was made .... (6) Condition B is that substantially the whole of the individual's time must be given to carrying on the trade— (a) for a continuous period of at least 6 months beginning or ending in the tax year (if the individual starts or permanently ceases to carry on the trade in the tax year (or does both)), or (b) throughout tax year period (in any other case).

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.
