Propose a change

Childcare Payments Act 2014

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

60 Powers of tribunal

(1) This section applies where a person is appealing to the Tribunal under section 56 against an appealable decision. (2) In a case where the appealable decision is a decision under section 47 to assess a penalty, or to assess a penalty of a particular amount, the Tribunal may do any of the following— (a) uphold the penalty; (b) set aside the penalty; (c) substitute for the penalty a penalty of an amount decided by the Tribunal. (3) In any other case, the Tribunal must either— (a) dismiss the appeal, or (b) quash the whole or part of the decision to which the appeal relates. (4) The Tribunal may act as mentioned in subsection (3)(b) only to the extent that it is satisfied that the decision was wrong on one or more of the following grounds— (a) that the decision was based, wholly or partly, on an error of fact; (b) that the decision was wrong in law. (5) If the Tribunal quashes the whole or part of a decision, it may either— (a) refer the matter back to HMRC with a direction to reconsider and make a new decision in accordance with its ruling, or (b) substitute its own decision for that of HMRC. This is subject to section 61(8). (6) The Tribunal may not direct HMRC to take any action which they would not otherwise have the power to take in relation to the decision. (7) A decision of the Tribunal made by virtue of this section has the same effect as, and may be enforced in the same manner as, a decision of HMRC. (8) In this section “the Tribunal” means— (a) the First-tier Tribunal, or (b) in Northern Ireland, the appeal tribunal (within the meaning of section 59(3)).

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.
