(2) Subsection (1) applies— (a) whether or not an assessment is made, and (b) whether or not income tax which is assessed has been paid when the assessment is made. (3) Subsection (1) applies even if the date when the income tax should have been paid is a non-business day as defined by section 92 of the Bills of Exchange Act 1882. (4) Subsection (5) applies to any income tax which— (a) was payable under Chapter 15 of Part 15 of ITA 2007 (collection: deposit-takers, building societies and certain companies) in respect of payments within section 946 of that Act made in a return period, (b) was not paid on the date when it was due under section 951 of that Act, and (c) has subsequently been discharged or repaid under section 953 of that Act because the person who made the payments received payments on which it suffered income tax by deduction in a later return period.

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.
