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.

As published

281 Minor and consequential amendments

(1) Schedule 35 contains minor and consequential amendments of enactments in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, this Part. (2) The Treasury may by order make such other amendments (including repeals and revocations) as may appear appropriate in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, this Part— (a) in any enactment contained in an Act passed before 6th April 2006 or in the Session in which that date falls, and (b) in any instrument made before that date or in the Session in which that date falls. (2A) The Treasury may by order make in any relevant enactment such amendments (including repeals and revocations) as may appear appropriate in consequence of, or otherwise in connection with, any amendment (or repeal or revocation) made in this Part by any enactment contained in an Act passed after this Act (an “amending Act”). (2B) For this purpose a relevant enactment is— (a) an enactment contained in an Act passed, or (b) an instrument made, before the passing of the amending Act or in the Session in which the amending Act is passed. (3) An order under subsection (2) or (2A) may include any transitional provisions or savings appearing to the Treasury to be appropriate.

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.
