What to do with it
As published

1217EB The European expenditure condition

(1) The company is not entitled to special video games relief for an interim accounting period unless— (a) its company tax return for the period states the amount of planned core expenditure on the video game that is European expenditure, and (b) that amount is such as to indicate that the condition in section 1217CE (the European expenditure condition) will be met on completion of the video game. If those requirements are met, the company is provisionally treated in relation to that period as if that condition was met. (2) If such a statement is made but it subsequently appears that the condition will not be met on completion of the video game, the company— (a) is not entitled to special video games relief for any period for which its entitlement depended on such a statement, and (b) must amend accordingly its company tax return for any such period. (3) When the video game is completed or the company abandons video game development activities in relation to it (as the case may be), the company's company tax return for the completion period must be accompanied by a final statement of the amount of core expenditure on the video game that is European expenditure. (4) If that statement shows that the condition in section 1217CE is not met, the company— (a) is not entitled to special video games relief for any period, and (b) must amend accordingly its company tax return for any period for which such relief was claimed.

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.
