Propose a change

Small Charitable Donations Act 2012

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

9A Election for section 9 not to apply

(1) The condition mentioned in section 9(2) is that HMRC have notice from each connected eligible charity that the charity does not want section 9 to apply to the connected eligible charities for the tax year. (2) “Connected eligible charity” has the same meaning as in section 9. (3) A notice under subsection (1) may be withdrawn before the condition in that subsection is met, but may not be withdrawn after the condition in that subsection has been met. (4) Regulations under section 11 may in particular make provision— (a) imposing a time limit for giving a notice under subsection (1); (b) about the form and contents of the notice (including provision for them to be determined by HMRC); (c) requiring the notice to be accompanied by information specified in the regulations or determined by HMRC.

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.
