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.

As published

1179DY Accounting periods

(1) A reference to an accounting period, in relation to a film or television programme, is a reference to an accounting period of the production company for the film or programme. (2) A reference to the “completion period”, in relation to a film or television programme, is a reference to the accounting period in which— (a) the film or programme is completed (see section 1179EB), or (b) the production company abandons production activities in relation to the film or programme. (3) The production company for a film or television programme must, in its company tax return for the completion period, state whichever of those has occurred. (4) A reference to a “pre-completion period”, in relation to a film or television programme, is a reference to any accounting period before the completion period in relation to that film or programme. (5) In this section, “production company” includes a company that is no longer the production company for the film or television programme but is still carrying on the separate production trade in relation to it.

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.
