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.

As published

809BZC Payments treated as borrower's income

(1) This section applies if— (a) a type 1 finance arrangement would not have the relevant effect (ignoring section 809BZB(2)), (b) that arrangement would not have the corresponding corporation-tax effect (ignoring section 759(2) of CTA 2010), and (c) the borrower is— (i) within the charge to income tax, or (ii) a partnership at least one member of which is within the charge to income tax. (2) The payments mentioned in section 809BZA(2)(c) must be treated for income tax purposes as income of the borrower payable in respect of the security. (3) Subsection (2) applies whether or not the payments are also the income of another person for tax purposes. (4) Subsections (3) to (6) of section 809BZB (meaning of relevant effect) apply for the purposes of this section as for those of that. (5) In subsection (1)(b) “the corresponding corporation-tax effect” means the relevant effect as defined by section 759(3) to (6) of CTA 2010 (provision for corporation tax corresponding to section 809BZB(3) to (6)).

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.
