64 FSCS intervention in relation to insurance contracts

(1) The Treasury may by regulations make provision for and in connection with the application of the relevant taxes in relation to circumstances in which there is relevant intervention under the FSCS. (2) “Relevant intervention” means— (a) anything done under, or while seeking to make, arrangements for securing continuity of insurance in connection with protected contracts of insurance, (b) anything done as part of measures for safeguarding policyholders in connection with protected contracts of insurance, or (c) the payment of compensation in connection with protected contracts of insurance. (3) In this section— “the FSCS” means the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (established under Part 15 of FISMA 2000); “protected contracts of insurance” has the same meaning as in the PRA Handbook made by the Prudential Regulation Authority under that Act as it has effect from time to time. (4) The provision that may be made by regulations under this section includes provision imposing any of the relevant taxes (as well as provisions for exemptions or reliefs).

(6) Regulations under this section may include provision having effect in relation to any time before they are made if the provision does not increase any person's liability to tax. (7) The provision made by regulations under this section may be framed as provision modifying, or applying with appropriate modifications, provisions having effect in relation to protected contracts of insurance. (8) Regulations under this section may, in particular— (a) amend, repeal or revoke or otherwise modify any enactment or instrument (whenever passed or made), (b) make different provision for different cases or otherwise for different purposes, and (c) make incidental, consequential, supplementary or transitional provision. (9) Regulations under this section are to be made by statutory instrument. (10) A statutory instrument containing regulations under this section is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons.

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.

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.
