As published

1155 Payment of tax credit

(1) This section applies if a land remediation tax credit for an accounting period is payable to a company. (2) The amount payable in respect of— (a) the land remediation tax credit, or (b) interest on the credit payable under section 826 of ICTA, may be applied in discharging any liability of the company to pay corporation tax. (3) So far as the amount is so applied, the duty of the officer of Revenue and Customs to pay the credit under section 1151(4) is discharged. (4) Subsection (5) applies if the company's tax return for the accounting period is enquired into by an officer of Revenue and Customs. (5) In that case— (a) no payment in respect of the land remediation tax credit for the period need be made before the officer's enquiries are completed (see paragraph 32 of Schedule 18 to FA 1998), but (b) an officer may make a payment on a provisional basis of such amount as the officer thinks fit. (6) No payment need be made in respect of the land remediation tax credit if the company has outstanding PAYE and NIC liabilities for the period. (7) A company has outstanding PAYE and NIC liabilities for an accounting period if it has not paid to an officer of Revenue and Customs any amount that it is required to pay— (a) under PAYE regulations, or (b) in respect of Class 1 national insurance contributions, for payment periods ending in the accounting period. (8) “Payment period” means a period— (a) which ends on the 5th day of a month, and (b) for which the company is liable to account for income tax and national insurance contributions to an officer of Revenue and Customs.

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.
