Article 3

1. The tax shall be payable each month on salaries, wages and emoluments paid by the Communities to each person liable. 2.

The amount to be deducted shall be calculated, with due regard, where appropriate, to the provisions of Article 5. 4. Subject to the provisions of Article 5, an abatement of 10 % for occupational and personal expenses shall be made from the amount obtained by applying the preceding provisions. An additional abatement equivalent to twice the amount of the allowance for a dependent child shall be made for each dependent child of the person liable as well as for each person treated as a dependent child within the meaning of Article 2 (4) of Annex VII to the Staff Regulations. 5. Deductions from remuneration of persons liable on account of pensions and retirement allowances or of social security shall be deducted from the basic taxable amount.

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.
