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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

1196A Intended release or broadcast

(1) The film must— (a) be intended for theatrical release, or (b) be a television programme intended for broadcast to the general public that meets conditions A to D in section 1216AB (meaning of “relevant programme”). (2) For this purpose— (a) “theatrical release” means exhibition to the paying public at the commercial cinema, (b) a film is not regarded as intended for theatrical release unless it is intended that a significant proportion of the earnings from the film should be obtained by such exhibition, and (c) “television programme” has the same meaning as in Part 15A (see section 1216AA). (3) Whether the condition in subsection (1) is met is determined for each accounting period of the company during which film-making activities are carried on in relation to the film, in accordance with the following rules. (4) If the condition in subsection (1) is met at the end of an accounting period, it is treated as having been met throughout that period (subject to subsection (5)(b)). (5) If the condition in subsection (1) is not met at the end of an accounting period— (a) it is treated as having been not met throughout that period, and (b) it cannot be met in any subsequent accounting period. This does not affect any entitlement of the company to relief in an earlier accounting period for which the condition in subsection (1) was met.

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.
