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

779 Income arising where derivative property or right obtained

(1) This section applies if— (a) the capital amount obtained as mentioned in section 777(5) consists of— (i) property which derives substantially the whole of its value from the activities of an individual, or (ii) a right which does so, and (b) the property or right is sold or otherwise realised. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), it does not matter whether the capital amount is obtained on one occasion or on two or more occasions (for example, because the individual acquires a stock option and subsequently exercises it). (3) Income of an amount equal to the proceeds of sale or the realised value is treated for income tax purposes as income arising to the individual. (4) The income is treated as arising in the tax year in which the property or right is sold or otherwise realised.

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.
