Tax Credits Act 2002

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.

(2) The Commissioners must carry out the review as soon as is reasonably practicable. (3) When the review has been carried out, the Commissioners must give the applicant notice of their conclusion containing sufficient information to enable the applicant to know— (a) the conclusion on the review, (b) if the conclusion is that the decision is varied, details of the variation, and (c) the reasons for the conclusion. (4) The conclusion on the review must be one of the following— (a) that the decision is upheld; (b) that the decision is varied; (c) that the decision is cancelled. (5) Where— (a) the Commissioners notify the applicant of further information or evidence that they may need for carrying out the review, and (b) the information or evidence is not provided to them by the date specified in the notice, the review may proceed without that information or evidence.

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.
