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

230 Registration of tax advisers etc

(1) Where a tax adviser applies to be registered under this Chapter in accordance with section 225 (application for registration), an officer of Revenue and Customs must— (a) decide whether to approve the application; (b) notify the tax adviser of the decision and— (i) where the application is approved, of the date from which the registration has effect, and (ii) where the application is not approved, of the reasons for the decision. (2) The officer must approve the application if satisfied that the tax adviser meets the registration conditions. (3) The officer may otherwise approve the application only if— (a) the tax adviser fails to meet the registration conditions solely by virtue of the adviser, or a relevant individual of the adviser, not meeting the condition in section 227(2)(a) (amount of tax etc overdue), and (b) having regard to the relevant amount that is overdue or (as the case may be) the circumstances of the outstanding relevant return, the officer considers it appropriate to approve the application. In this subsection “relevant amount” and “relevant return” have the same meaning as in section 227 (registration conditions). (4) An officer of Revenue and Customs may cancel the registration of a registered tax adviser if— (a) the adviser requests the cancellation, or (b) the tax adviser has been wound up or dissolved or has died.

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.
