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

61 Taxable disposals: special provisions.

(1) Where— (a) a taxable disposal is in fact made on a particular day, (b) within the period of 14 days beginning with that day the person liable to pay tax in respect of the disposal issues a landfill invoice in respect of the disposal, and (c) he has not notified the Commissioners in writing that he elects not to avail himself of this subsection, for the purposes of this Part the disposal shall be treated as made at the time the invoice is issued. (2) The reference in subsection (1) above to a landfill invoice is to a document containing such particulars as regulations may prescribe for the purposes of that subsection. (3) The Commissioners may at the request of a person direct that subsection (1) above shall apply— (a) in relation to disposals in respect of which he is liable to pay tax, or (b) in relation to such of them as may be specified in the direction, as if for the period of 14 days there were substituted such longer period as may be specified in the direction.

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.
