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

1216BE Pre-trading expenditure

(1) This section applies if, before the company began to carry on the separate programme trade, it incurred expenditure on development of the relevant programme. (2) The expenditure may be treated as expenditure of the separate programme trade and as if incurred immediately after the company began to carry on that trade. (3) If expenditure so treated has previously been taken into account for other tax purposes, the company must amend any relevant company tax return accordingly. (4) Any amendment or assessment necessary to give effect to subsection (3) may be made despite any limitation on the time within which an amendment or assessment may normally be made.

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.
