Propose a change

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.

What to do with it
As published

21B Late application for a review

(1) The Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs may in a particular case extend the time limit specified in section 21A(1)(a) for making an application for a review if all of the following conditions are met. (2) The first condition is that the person seeking a review has applied to the Commissioners for an extension of time. (3) The second condition is that the application for the extension— (a) explains why the extension is sought, and (b) is made within 13 months of the notification of the original decision or of the date the original decision was made if not notified because of section 23(3) . (4) The third condition is that the Commissioners are satisfied that due to special circumstances it was not practicable for the application for a review to have been made within the time limit specified in section 21A(1)(a). (5) The fourth condition is that the Commissioners are satisfied that it is reasonable in all the circumstances to grant the extension. (6) In determining whether it is reasonable to grant an extension, the Commissioners must have regard to the principle that the greater the amount of time that has elapsed between the end of the time limit specified in section 21A(1)(a) and the date of the application, the more compelling should be the special circumstances on which the application is based. (7) An application to extend the time limit specified in section 21A(1)(a) which has been refused may not be renewed.

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.
