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

908 Royalty payments etc made through UK resident agents

(1) If— (a) a payment to which section 906 applies is made through an agent who is UK resident, and (b) the agent is entitled as against the owner of the right to deduct a sum as commission for services provided, section 906(5) and Chapters 8 (deduction at special rates), 15 and 16 (collection) apply as if the amount of the payment were the amount net of the sum deductible as commission. (2) But if the person by or through whom the payment is made does not know the commission is payable, or does not know its amount— (a) the sum representing income tax required to be deducted under section 906 must be calculated in the first instance on the total amount of the payment, and (b) the return to be made under Chapter 15 or the account of the payment under Chapter 16, must be based on that total amount.

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.
