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

148 Farmhouses

(1) This section applies where on a day in a chargeable period— (a) a dwelling (“the farmhouse”) forms part of land occupied for the purposes of a qualifying trade of farming, and (b) a person carrying on the trade is entitled to, or connected with a person who is entitled to, a single-dwelling interest in the farmhouse. (2) That day is relievable in relation to the single-dwelling interest if on that day the farmhouse is occupied— (a) by a farm worker who occupies it for the purposes of the trade, or (b) by a former long-serving farm worker, or the surviving spouse or civil partner of a former farm worker. (3) A trade of farming is a “qualifying trade of farming” only if it is carried on— (a) on a commercial basis, and (b) with a view to profit. (4) In this section— “farming” has the same meaning as in the Corporation Tax Acts (see section 1125 of CTA 2010), except that in this section “farming” includes market gardening; “market gardening” has the same meaning as in the Corporation Tax Acts (see section 1125(5) of CTA 2010).

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.
