Propose a change

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.

1042A Overview of Chapter

(1) This Chapter provides an entitlement to a credit (called an “R&D expenditure credit”) in respect of certain expenditure on research and development. (2) Section 1042B and 1042C make the basic provision setting out what the entitlement is and how it is to be realised. (3) Sections 1042D to 1042F describe the expenditure by reference to which the entitlement arises. (4) Section 1042G sets the percentage of that expenditure that is translated into the credit. (5) Sections 1042H to 1042N make provision about what happens when a company obtains the credit (in particular, about how the credit is to be accounted for and applied or paid). (6) Section 1042O makes provision about how the expenditure credit operates in the context of a basic life assurance and general annuity business carried on by an insurance company. (7) This Chapter has to be read with Chapter 8, which limits the entitlement given by this Chapter in various respects.

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.
