Taxes Management Act 1970

12ABB Correction of partnership return by Revenue

(1) An officer of the Board may amend a partnership return so as to correct— (a) obvious errors or omissions in the return (whether errors of principle, arithmetical mistakes or otherwise), and (b) anything else in the return that the officer has reason to believe is incorrect in the light of information available to the officer. (2) A correction under this section is made by notice to the partner who made and delivered the return, or his successor. (3) No such correction may be made more than nine months after— (a) the day on which the return was delivered, or (b) if the correction is required in consequence of an amendment of the return under section 12ABA of this Act, the day on which that amendment was made. (4) A correction under this section is of no effect if the person to whom the notice of correction was given, or his successor, gives notice rejecting the correction. (5) Notice of rejection under subsection (4) above must be given— (a) to the officer of the Board by whom the notice of correction was given, (b) before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the date of issue of the notice of correction. (6) Where a partnership return is corrected under this section, the officer shall by notice to each of the partners amend— (a) the partner’s return under section 8 or 8A of this Act, or (b) the partner’s company tax return, so as to give effect to the correction of the partnership return. Any such amendment shall cease to have effect if the correction is rejected.

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.
