Propose a change

Finance Act 2013

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

129 Demolition and replacement: other cases

(1) This section applies if— (a) a building is constructed on the site of the old dwelling after the demolition, and (b) section 128 does not apply. (2) Any question as to whether a person has a single-dwelling interest in the old dwelling is determined on the assumption that the old dwelling ceases to exist on the day after— (a) the day on which the change of use is approved, or (b) if later, the day on which the old dwelling ceased to be occupied. (3) In subsection (1)— (a) “the site of the old dwelling” means the land on which the dwelling stood and that counted as part of the dwelling; (b) the reference to the construction of a dwelling on that site is to the construction of a dwelling wholly or partly on the site.

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.
