(2) The company's qualifying expenditure on externally provided workers is— (a) the entire staff provision payment, or (b) if less, an amount equal to the aggregate of the relevant expenditure of each staff controller. (3) “Relevant expenditure”, in relation to a staff controller, means expenditure that— (a) is incurred by the staff controller in providing for the company the externally provided workers to whom the staff provision payment relates, (b) is not of a capital nature, ... (c) is incurred on staffing costs or agency workers' remuneration, and (d) is attributable to qualifying earnings of externally provided workers. (4) “Relevant period”, in relation to a person, means a period— (a) for which accounts are drawn up for the person, and (b) that ends not more than 12 months after the end of the company's period of account in which the staff provision payment is, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, brought into account in determining the company's profit or loss.

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.
