Finance (No. 2) Act 2024
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
5 Increase in thresholds to £60,000 and £80,000
(1) In— (a) section 681B(1)(a) of ITEPA 2003 (liability to high income child benefit charge if person’s adjusted net income exceeds £50,000), and (b) section 681C(2)(b) of that Act (amount of the charge), in the definition of “L” , for “£50,000” substitute £60,000”. (2) In section 681C(2)(b) of that Act, in the definition of “X” (which, in combination with the other parts of the formula, secures that there is a taper in the charge up to adjusted net incomes of £60,000), for “£100” substitute “£200”. (3) The amendments made by this section have effect for the tax year 2024-25 and subsequent tax years. (4) If— (a) a person (“P”) who is entitled to child benefit in respect of one or more children makes a claim, on or after 6 April 2024 but before 8 July 2024, for the payment of the benefit, and (b) in consequence of the backdating of the entitlement, P is entitled to an amount in respect of child benefit for one or more weeks in the tax year 2023-24, the entitlement to those amounts is to be treated for the purposes of Chapter 8 of Part 10 of ITEPA 2003 as an entitlement to those amounts for weeks in the tax year 2024-25. (5) But subsection (4) does not apply if— (a) ignoring the deeming in that subsection, there would be no liability (whether of P or anyone else) to a high income child benefit charge for the tax year 2023-24 in respect of those amounts, or (b) P makes an election for that subsection not to apply. (6) P may make an election under subsection (5)(b) only if P reasonably considers that, in the absence of the election, P’s liability to a high income child benefit charge for the tax year 2024-25 in respect of those amounts would exceed P’s liability to that charge for the tax year 2023-24 in respect of those amounts. (7) Section 681H(3) of ITEPA 2003 applies for the purposes of subsection (4) as it applies for the purposes of Chapter 8 of Part 10 of that Act.

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.
