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

911 Double taxation arrangements: deduction at treaty rate

(1) This section applies if— (a) a company pays a royalty from which it is required to deduct a sum representing income tax under Chapter 6 or 7, (b) the income tax in respect of the payment is collectible under Chapter 15 or 16, and (c) the company reasonably believes that, at the time the payment is made, the payee is entitled to relief in respect of the payment under double taxation arrangements. (2) The company may calculate the sum to be deducted from the payment under Chapter 6 or 7 by reference to the treaty rate. (3) But, if the payee is not at the time entitled to such relief, this Part has effect as if subsection (2) had never applied in relation to the payment. (4) In this section “the treaty rate” means the rate of income tax appropriate to the payee under the arrangements.

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.
