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

970 Supplementary

(1) For the purposes of the Tax Acts a payment to which section 966 applies is treated as if it were not reduced by the deduction of a sum representing income tax under that section. (2) An officer of Revenue and Customs may disclose, to any person who appears to the officer to have an interest in the matter, information relevant to determining whether section 966 applies to a payment or transfer. (3) An officer is not precluded from doing so by any obligation as to secrecy imposed by statute or otherwise. (4) In this section and sections 966 to 969— (a) references to a payment include references to a payment by way of loan of money, and (b) references to a transfer do not include references to a transfer of money but, subject to that, include references to— (i) a temporary transfer (as by way of loan), and (ii) a transfer of a right (whether or not a right to receive money). (5) In sections 966 to 969 “prescribed” means prescribed by regulations made by the Treasury.

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.
