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.

As published

856 Investments which are relevant investments

(1) An investment is a relevant investment for the purposes of section 876 if it meets— (a) the individual interest condition (see subsection (3)), (b) the Scottish partnership condition (see subsection (4)), (c) the personal representative condition (see subsection (5)), or (d) the settlement condition (see subsection (6)). (2) But an investment is not a relevant investment if any of sections 863 to 870 prevent it from being a relevant investment. (3) An investment meets the individual interest condition if the only persons beneficially entitled to interest on the investment are individuals. (4) An investment meets the Scottish partnership condition if— (a) a Scottish partnership is beneficially entitled to all interest on the investment, and (b) that partnership consists only of individuals. (5) An investment meets the personal representative condition if personal representatives are entitled to any interest on the investment and they receive it in that capacity. (6) An investment meets the settlement condition if all interest on the investment is income arising to the trustees of a discretionary or accumulation settlement and they receive it in that capacity. For the meaning of “discretionary or accumulation settlement”, see section 873(1).

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.
