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

1179DU Excluded expenditure: non-arm’s-length dealings with connected parties

(1) Expenditure is excluded expenditure to the extent that it represents connected party profit, unless subsection (3) applies. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1), expenditure represents connected party profit— (a) if it is a payment to a person (“C”) in exchange for something supplied by that person, (b) if the production company is connected with C, and (c) if, and to the extent that, the amount of the payment exceeds the expenditure incurred by C in supplying that thing. (3) This subsection applies if the amount of the payment is no more than would have been the case had the transaction been entered into at arm’s length. (4) A transaction would have been entered into “at arm’s length” if it made “the arm’s length provision” within the meaning of Part 4 of TIOPA 2010 (and for this purpose any limitation on the application of that Part is to be disregarded). (5) Subsections (6) and (7) apply if— (a) the supply by C to the production company is one of a sequence of transactions in which the thing supplied has been supplied by one person to another, and (b) either— (i) each transacting party in the sequence is connected to at least one other transacting party in the sequence, or (ii) each transaction in the sequence is entered into in furtherance of a single scheme or arrangement (of whatever kind, and whether or not legally enforceable). (6) The reference to C in subsection (2)(c) is to be read as a reference to the supplier in the first transaction in the sequence. (7) The reference to the transaction in subsection (3) is to be read as including each transaction in the sequence. (8) In this section, “payment” includes any transfer of value.

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.
