Propose a change

Finance Act 2026

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

183 Information notices: financial institutions

(1) An officer of Revenue and Customs may by notice require a financial institution to provide information that is, in the opinion of the officer, reasonably required for the purposes of— (a) monitoring the compliance of a connected person with an anti-avoidance enactment, or (b) HMRC taking, or considering whether HMRC could take, action against a connected person under an anti-avoidance enactment. (2) A notice under this section must identify the connected person to whom it relates. (3) An officer of Revenue and Customs may not issue a notice under this section without the approval of the tribunal. (4) After issuing a notice under this section, an officer of Revenue and Customs must provide to the connected person identified in the notice— (a) a copy of the notice, and (b) a summary of the officer’s reasons for requiring the information. (5) Subsection (4) does not apply to the extent the tribunal is satisfied that taking the steps in that subsection might prejudice the investigation of tax avoidance. (6) In this section— “financial institution” means— a financial institution under the CRS other than one which is such an institution only because it is an investment entity within section 8(A)(6)(b) of the CRS; a person who issues credit cards; “CRS” means the common reporting standard for automatic exchange of financial account information developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, as that standard has effect from time to time.

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.
