(2) A person is subject to a stop notice for the purposes of this Part if— (a) the person is the recipient of the notice; (b) the person is a body corporate or partnership that the recipient of the notice controls or has significant influence over; (c) the person controls or has significant influence over a body corporate or partnership that is the recipient of the notice; (d) the recipient of the notice makes a relevant transfer to the person. (3) If the recipient of a stop notice controls or has significant influence over a person that is a body corporate or partnership, the recipient must— (a) within 5 days of the giving of the notice, give a copy of the notice to that person, and (b) within 15 days of the giving of the notice, provide HMRC with the information mentioned in subsection (6) in relation to that person. (4) If the recipient of a stop notice is a body corporate or partnership, it must— (a) within 5 days of the giving of the notice, give a copy of the notice to each person who controls or has significant influence over it, and (b) within 15 days of the giving of the notice, provide HMRC with the information mentioned in subsection (6) in relation to each such person.

(7) An authorised officer may give a copy of a stop notice to any person the officer considers the recipient of the notice is obliged to give a copy to as a result of subsection (3)(a), (4)(a) or (5)(a) (but this does not affect the obligation of the recipient to do so). (8) Sub-paragraphs (5) to (11) of paragraph 13A of Schedule 34 (meaning of “control” and “significant influence”) apply to this section as they apply to Part 2 of that Schedule. (9) In this section “relevant transfer” has the meaning it has in paragraph 5 of Schedule 33A (promotion structures).

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.

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.
