Propose a change

Finance Act 2025

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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

48 Charge on pre-paid private school fees

(1) Subsection (2) applies to the provision of education services during a school term if a payment in respect of the services was received by the person providing the services on or after 29 July 2024 and before 30 October 2024. (2) That provision is treated for the purposes of the charge to VAT as a supply taking place on the later of— (a) 1 January 2025, and (b) the first day of that term. Accordingly, that provision is not to be regarded (as a result of provision made by or under VATA 1994) as a supply taking place at any other time. (3) But subsection (2) does not apply to the provision of education services by a school if the school is approved under section 342 of the Education Act 1996 (approval of non-maintained special schools). (4) In this section “the provision of education services” means a provision of education, vocational training or board and lodging falling within Part 3 of Schedule 9 (exceptions). (5) This section is to be read as if it were contained in VATA 1994.

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.
