What to do with it

888E Interest on certain peer-to-peer lending

(1) The duty to deduct a sum representing income tax under section 874 does not apply to a payment of interest on an amount of peer-to-peer lending. (2) In subsection (1) “peer-to-peer lending” means credit in relation to which the condition in subsection (4) is met. (3) In this section— “original borrower”, in relation to any credit, means the person to whom the credit is originally provided, “credit” includes a cash loan and any other form of financial accommodation, and “original lender”, in relation to any credit, means the person who originally provides the credit. (4) The condition is that— (a) the original borrower and the original lender enter the agreement under which the credit is provided at the invitation of a person (“the operator”), (b) the operator makes the invitation in the course of, or in connection with, operating an electronic system, (c) the operator's operation of the electronic system is an activity specified in article 36H(1) or (2D) of the Order (operating an electronic system in relation to lending), and (d) the operator has permission under Part 4A of FISMA 2000 to carry on that activity. (5) For the purposes of subsection (4), it does not matter if the agreement mentioned in subsection (4)(a) is not an article 36H agreement (as defined in article 36H of the Order). (6) The Commissioners for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs may by regulations make such amendments of the preceding provisions of this section as they consider appropriate in consequence of— (a) the Order, or any part of it, being replaced (or further replaced) by provision in another instrument, or (b) any amendment of the Order or any such other instrument. (7) In this section “the Order” means the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001 (S.I. 2001/544).

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.
