(1) This section applies if an amount is deducted under step 2 in section 1179CC from the amount of the qualifying company’s expenditure credit. (2) If the qualifying company is a member of a group, it may, in respect of the accounting period for which the expenditure credit arises, surrender the whole or part of the deducted amount to any other member of the group (as to which see section 1179CE). (3) To the extent that the deducted amount is not surrendered under subsection (2), it is to be carried forward to the next accounting period of the qualifying company, and subsections (4) and (5) apply. (4) The carried-forward amount is to be applied in discharging any liability of the qualifying company to pay corporation tax for the accounting period. (5) If— (a) any of the carried-forward amount remains after the application of subsection (4), and (b) the qualifying company is a member of a group, the qualifying company may, in respect of the accounting period, surrender the whole or part of the remaining amount to any other member of the group (as to which see section 1179CE).

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.

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.
