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

1163 No relief if company responsible for contamination or dereliction or polluter has interest

(1) A company is not entitled to relief under section 1161 or 1162 in respect of expenditure on land all or part of which is in a contaminated or derelict state if the land is in a contaminated or derelict state wholly or partly as a result of any thing done, or omitted to be done, at any time by— (a) the company, or (b) a person with a relevant connection to the company (see section 1178). (2) A company is not entitled to relief under this Chapter in respect of expenditure on land all or part of which is in a contaminated or derelict state if— (a) the land is in that state wholly or partly as a result of any thing done, or omitted to be done, by a person not within subsection (1), and (b) that person, or a person connected with that person, has a relevant interest in the land. (3) For the purposes of subsection (2) a person has a relevant interest in land if— (a) the person holds any interest in, right over or licence to occupy the land (including an option to acquire any such interest, right or licence in any circumstances), or (b) has disposed of any estate or interest in the land for a consideration that to any extent reflects the impact, or likely impact, on the value of the land of the remediation of its contamination or dereliction.

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.
