Propose a change

Finance Act 1994

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

69C Part-exempt contracts: exemption from requirement to make returns

(1) If the condition in subsection (2) is met, a registrable person may apply in writing to the Commissioners for an exemption under this section. (2) The condition is that the person has not received, and does not expect to receive, at any time after the beginning of a specified accounting period, any premium under a taxable insurance contract that is not an excepted premium. (3) In subsection (2) “specified” means specified in the application. (4) The application must contain such information as the Commissioners may direct. (5) The Commissioners must grant the application unless it appears to them that the condition in subsection (2) is not met. (6) Where an exemption has effect the applicant— (a) is exempt from any requirement imposed under section 54 to make returns in relation to the accounting period specified in the application or subsequent accounting periods, and (b) must ensure that any records that the applicant is required to keep by virtue of paragraph 1(1) of Schedule 7 are, so far as they relate to premiums received, kept in a form enabling records relating to excepted premiums to be readily distinguished from records relating to other premiums.

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.
