National Insurance Contributions Act 2014

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

1 Employment allowance for national insurance contributions

(1) A person qualifies for an employment allowance for a tax year if, in the tax year— (a) the person is the secondary contributor in relation to payments of earnings to, or for the benefit of, one or more employed earners, and (b) in consequence, the person incurs liabilities to pay secondary Class 1 contributions, under SSCBA 1992 or SSCB(NI)A 1992 (or both). (2) The person's employment allowance for the tax year is— (a) £10,500 or (b) if less, an amount equal to the total amount of the liabilities mentioned in subsection (1)(b) which are not excluded liabilities. (3) Subsection (1) is subject to sections 2 and 3 (and Schedule 1). (4) Sections 2 and 3 (and Schedule 1) set out cases in which a person cannot qualify for an employment allowance for a tax year. (5) Section 2 also sets out the cases in which liabilities to pay secondary Class 1 contributions are “excluded liabilities”. (6) Section 4 provides for a person who qualifies for an employment allowance for a tax year to receive it by way of deductions or a repayment under that section. (7) In this Act references to “the employment allowance provisions” are to this section, sections 2 to 4 and Schedule 1. (8) In the employment allowance provisions and section 5 terms used which are also used in Part 1 of SSCBA 1992 or SSCB(NI)A 1992 have the same meaning as they have in that Part.

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.
