Propose a change

Finance Act 2003

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

33D Review out of time

(1) This section applies if— (a) HMRC have offered a review of a decision under section 33A, and (b) P does not accept the offer within the time allowed under section 33B(1)(b) or 33C(2). (2) HMRC must review the decision under section 33B if— (a) after the time allowed, P notifies HMRC in writing requesting a review out of time, (b) HMRC are satisfied that P had a reasonable excuse for not accepting the offer or requiring review within the time allowed, and (c) HMRC are satisfied that P made the request without unreasonable delay after the excuse had ceased to apply. (3) HMRC shall not review a decision if P has appealed to the appeal tribunal under section 33F in respect of the decision.

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.
