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.

What to do with it
As published

1124 Staffing costs: attributable expenditure

(1) This section applies for the purposes of this Part to identify when staffing costs are attributable to relevant research and development. (2) The costs which are so attributable are those paid to, or in respect of, directors or employees who are directly and actively engaged in relevant research and development. (3) Subsection (4) applies if a director or employee is partly engaged directly and actively in relevant research and development. (4) The appropriate proportion of the staffing costs relating to the director or employee is treated as attributable to relevant research and development. (5) Subsection (6) applies if persons provide services, such as secretarial or administrative services, in support of activities carried on by others. (6) Those persons are not, as a result of providing those services, to be treated as themselves directly and actively engaged in those activities.

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.
