As published

312 Duty of promoter to notify client of number : section 311(2) case

(1) This section applies where a person who is a promoter in relation to notifiable arrangements is providing (or has provided) services to any person (“the client”) in connection with the notifiable arrangements. (2) The promoter must, within 30 days after the relevant date, provide the client with prescribed information relating to any reference number allocated in a case within section 311(2) (or, if more than one, any one such reference number) that has been notified to the promoter (whether by HMRC or any other person) in relation to— (a) the notifiable arrangements, or (b) any arrangements substantially the same as the notifiable arrangements (whether involving the same or different parties). (3) In subsection (2) “the relevant date” means the later of— (a) the date on which the promoter becomes aware of any transaction which forms part of the notifiable arrangements, and (b) the date on which the reference number is notified to the promoter. (4) But where the conditions in subsection (5) are met the duty imposed on the promoter under subsection (2) to provide the client with information in relation to notifiable arrangements is discharged. (5) Those conditions are that — (a) the promoter is also a promoter in relation to a notifiable proposal and provides services to the client in connection with them both, (b) the notifiable proposal and the notifiable arrangements are substantially the same, and (c) the promoter has provided to the client, in a form and manner specified by HMRC, prescribed information relating to the reference number that has been notified to the promoter in relation to the proposed notifiable arrangements. (6) HMRC may give notice that, in relation to notifiable arrangements specified in the notice, promoters are not under the duty under subsection (2) after the date specified in the notice.

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.
