Propose a change

Finance Act 2004

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

185 Effect of unauthorised borrowing: other arrangements

(1) Subsection (2) applies if a registered pension scheme borrows, in respect of an arrangement which is not a money purchase arrangement, an amount which it is not authorised to borrow under section 184. (2) The pension scheme is to be treated as having made a scheme chargeable payment— (a) if subsection (3) applies, of an amount calculated in accordance with subsection (4), and (b) otherwise, of the amount borrowed. (3) This subsection applies if, immediately before the amount is borrowed— APB < AARA 2 (4) If subsection (3) applies, the amount of the scheme chargeable payment is— APB + AB - AARA 2 (5) In subsections (3) and (4)— APB is the aggregate of the amounts previously borrowed by the pension scheme in respect of arrangements which are not money purchase arrangements (excluding any amounts which have been repaid), AB is the amount borrowed, and AARA is the aggregate amount of the relevant sums and assets, calculated in accordance with section 184(3), immediately before the amount is borrowed.

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.
