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

967 Calculation of sums representing income tax

(1) The sums representing income tax mentioned in section 966(3) and (4) are to be calculated in accordance with prescribed rules. (2) But the sums must not exceed the relevant proportion of the payment concerned or of the value of what is transferred. “Relevant proportion” means a proportion equal to the basic rate of income tax for the tax year in which the payment or transfer is made. (3) Regulations made by the Treasury may provide, in relation to a transfer to which section 966 applies, that for the purposes of the Tax Acts the value of what is transferred is to be calculated in accordance with prescribed rules. (4) In particular, rules may include provision— (a) for the calculation of an amount representing the actual value of what is transferred, (b) for that amount to be treated as a net amount corresponding to a gross amount from which income tax at the basic rate has been deducted, and (c) for the gross amount to be taken to be the value of what is transferred.

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.
