Propose a change

Finance Act 1996

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

What to do with it
As published

44 Mining and quarrying.

(1) A disposal made at a landfill site is not a taxable disposal for the purposes of this Part if it is shown to the satisfaction of the Commissioners that the disposal is of material all of which fulfils each of the conditions set out in subsections (2) to (4) below. (2) The material must result from commercial mining operations (whether the mining is deep or open-cast) or from commercial quarrying operations. (3) The material must be naturally occurring material extracted from the earth in the course of the operations. (4) The material must not have been subjected to, or result from, a non-qualifying process carried out at any stage between the extraction and the disposal. (5) A non-qualifying process is— (a) a process separate from the mining or quarrying operations, or (b) a process forming part of those operations and permanently altering the material’s chemical composition.

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.
