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

1169 Artificially inflated claims for relief or tax credit

(1) To the extent that a transaction is attributable to arrangements entered into wholly or mainly for a disqualifying purpose, it is to be disregarded for the purposes mentioned in subsection (2). (2) Those purposes are determining for an accounting period the amount of— (a) any relief to which a company is entitled under Chapter 2, (b) any land remediation tax credits to which a company is entitled under section 1151, (c) any relief to which a company carrying on basic life assurance and general annuity business is entitled under section 1161 or 1162, and (d) any BLAGAB tax credits to which such a company is entitled under section 1164. (3) Arrangements are entered into wholly or mainly for a “disqualifying purpose” if their main object, or one of their main objects, is to enable a company to obtain— (a) relief under Chapter 2 to which the company would not otherwise be entitled or of a greater amount than that to which it would otherwise be entitled, (b) a land remediation tax credit to which it would not otherwise be entitled or of a greater amount than that to which it would otherwise be entitled, (c) relief under section 1161 or 1162 to which it would not otherwise be entitled or of a greater amount than that to which it would otherwise be entitled, or (d) a life assurance company tax credit to which it would not otherwise be entitled or of a greater amount than that to which it would otherwise be entitled.

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.
