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

866 Qualifying time deposits

(1) An investment is not a relevant investment if it is a qualifying time deposit made before 6 April 2012. (2) An investment is a qualifying time deposit for the purposes of this section if— (a) it is a deposit consisting of a loan of at least £50,000, (b) the terms of the deposit require its repayment at a specified time within 5 years beginning with the date on which it is made, (c) those terms do not make provision for the transfer of the right to repayment, and (d) those terms prevent partial withdrawals of, or additions to, the deposit. (3) If a deposit is denominated in a foreign currency, subsection (2)(a) has effect as if it referred to an amount which is at least the equivalent in that currency of £50,000 at the time the deposit is made.

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.
