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.

873 Discretionary or accumulation settlements

(1) A settlement is a discretionary or accumulation settlement for the purposes of this Chapter if any income arising to the trustees would (unless treated as income of the settlor) be to any extent income within subsection (2) for the tax year in which it arises. (2) Income is within this subsection so far as it is— (a) accumulated or discretionary income as defined in section 480 (other than income arising under a charitable trust or an unauthorised unit trust in relation to which regulation 12 of the Unauthorised Unit Trusts (Tax) Regulations 2013 applies), or (b) an amount of a type set out in section 482 (unless the trust is a unit trust scheme or the amount is income arising under a charitable trust or is excluded by section 481(5)).

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.
