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

306A Doubt as to notifiability

(1) HMRC may apply to the tribunal for an order that— (a) a proposal is to be treated as notifiable, or (b) arrangements are to be treated as notifiable. (2) An application must specify— (a) the proposal or arrangements in respect of which the order is sought, and (b) the promoter. (3) On an application the tribunal may make the order only if satisfied that HMRC— (a) have taken all reasonable steps to establish whether the proposal or arrangements are notifiable, and (b) have reasonable grounds for suspecting that the proposal or arrangements may be notifiable. (4) Reasonable steps under subsection (3)(a) may (but need not) include taking action under section 313A or 313B. (5) Grounds for suspicion under subsection (3)(b) may include— (a) the fact that the relevant arrangements fall within a description prescribed under section 306(1)(a); (b) an attempt by the promoter to avoid or delay providing information or documents about the proposal or arrangements under or by virtue of section 313A or 313B; (c) the promoter's failure to comply with a requirement under or by virtue of section 313A or 313B in relation to another proposal or other arrangements. (6) Where an order is made under this section in respect of a proposal or arrangements, the prescribed period for the purposes of section 308(1) or (3) in so far as it applies by virtue of the order— (a) shall begin after a date prescribed for the purpose, and (b) may be of a different length than the prescribed period for the purpose of other applications of section 308(1) or (3). (7) An order under this section in relation to a proposal or arrangements is without prejudice to the possible application of section 308, other than by virtue of this section, to the proposal or arrangements.

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.
