Corporation Tax Act 2009

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.

1024 Transfer of qualifying business by group transfers

(1) This section applies in relation to relief to be given under this Chapter if— (a) during the option period, the whole, or substantially the whole, of the qualifying business is transferred, and (b) conditions A and B are met. (2) Condition A is that— (a) the transfer is a group transfer, or (b) if there is more than one transfer, all the transfers are group transfers. (3) Condition B is that, as a result of the transfer or transfers, at the end of the option period— (a) the whole, or substantially the whole, of the qualifying business is carried on by one company (“the successor company”) only and that company is not the employing company, or (b) the whole, or substantially the whole, of the qualifying business is carried on by companies (“the successor companies”) none of which is the employing company. (4) The relief is to be given to— (a) the successor company, or (b) whichever one of the successor companies is nominated by them, instead of the employing company (and references to the employing company in section 1021(3) and (4) are to be read as references to the company to which the relief is to be given).

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.
