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

809VF Condition B

(1) Condition B is that no relevant person has (directly or indirectly) obtained or become entitled to obtain any related benefit, and no relevant person expects to obtain any such benefit. (2) A “benefit”— (a) includes the provision of anything that would not be provided to the relevant person in the ordinary course of business, or would be provided but on less favourable terms, but (b) does not include the provision of anything provided to the relevant person in the ordinary course of business and on arm's length terms. (3) A benefit is “related” if— (a) it is directly or indirectly attributable to the making of the investment (whether it is obtained before or after the investment is made), or (b) it is reasonable to assume that the benefit would not be available in the absence of the investment. (4) For the purposes of subsection (2)— (a) a reference to the provision of anything is to the provision of anything in money or money's worth, including property, capital, goods or services of any kind, and (b) “provision” includes any arrangement that allows a person to enjoy or benefit from the thing in question (whether temporarily or permanently).

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.
