Propose a change

Income Tax Act 2007

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

284 Power to make regulations as to procedure

(1) Regulations under section 272 may make provision— (a) as to the making of applications for VCT approvals and otherwise as to the procedure to be followed in relation to any such applications and the giving of such approvals, (aa) for and in connection with the making by a company of an application to the Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (“the Commissioners”) for relief in respect of a breach (including a future breach) of the conditions for its VCT approval to continue in force, (b) as to the procedure to be followed in connection with the withdrawal of VCT approvals, (c) as to the obligations of a company which is a VCT if it should appear to the company (i) that the conditions for its VCT approval to continue in force are no longer met, or (ii) that it is likely that those conditions will cease to be met, (d) as to the accounts, records, returns and other information to be kept, and provided or otherwise made available to the Commissioners ..., by companies which are or have been VCTs and by persons (including nominees) who hold or have held shares in such companies, and (e) as to the persons liable to account for any tax becoming due where a VCT approval is withdrawn. (2) In subsection (1)(aa), the reference to relief in respect of a breach of the conditions mentioned there is to a determination by the Commissioners that they will not exercise their power to withdraw the company's VCT approval by reason of the breach for such period as they may determine (and subject to such conditions as they may determine). (3) The provision that may be made by virtue of subsection (1)(aa) includes— (a) provision as to the procedure to be followed in relation to applications and determinations, (b) provision as to the grounds on which applications may be made or determined, and (c) provision conferring a discretion to be exercised by the Commissioners.

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.
