What to do with it
As published

1179FH UK expenditure condition

(1) A video game meets the UK expenditure condition in a pre-completion period (see section 1179FQ) if— (a) the development company’s company tax return for the period states— (i) the total amount of core expenditure that is expected to be incurred in relation to the video game, and (ii) the amount of that expenditure that is expected to be UK expenditure, and (b) the second of those amounts is at least 10% of the first. (2) A video game meets the UK expenditure condition in the completion period (see section 1179FQ) and any subsequent accounting period if— (a) the development company’s company tax return for the completion period states— (i) the total amount of core expenditure that has been incurred in relation to the video game, and (ii) the amount of that expenditure that is UK expenditure, and (b) the second of those amounts is at least 10% of the first. (3) Subsection (1) is subject to subsections (4) and (5). (4) If a video game does not meet the UK expenditure condition in a pre-completion period, it is no longer to be regarded as having done so (nor, therefore, as being a qualifying video game) in any previous accounting period by virtue of subsection (1) as it applies to that previous period. (5) If a video game does not meet the UK expenditure condition in the completion period, it is no longer to be regarded as having done so (nor, therefore, as being a qualifying video game) in any pre-completion period. (6) References in this section to core expenditure are to core expenditure incurred by the development company. (7) The Treasury may by regulations amend the percentage specified in subsection (1) or (2).

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.
