The Finance Act 2021 (Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax) (Penalties) (Appointed Day: Eligible Volunteers) Regulations 2024

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.

As published

3 Election for eligible volunteers

(1) An individual may elect to be an eligible volunteer. (2) An election must— (a) be made to an officer of Revenue and Customs, (b) specify the first tax year in which it applies, and (c) be made before the end of that tax year. (3) Once made, an election cannot be revoked by the individual. (4) An election has effect only if accepted by an officer of Revenue and Customs giving notice in writing to the individual. (5) Once an election has been accepted it has effect for the tax year specified in paragraph (2)(b) or, if later, the tax year in which the election is accepted, and subsequent tax years. (6) An election ceases to have effect upon an officer of Revenue and Customs giving notice in writing to the individual. (7) An election that ceases to have effect is treated as never having had effect, other than for the purposes of any failure in respect of which His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs have already assessed a penalty.

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

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.
