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.

What to do with it
As published

1217FA “Theatrical production”

(1) In this Part “theatrical production” means a dramatic production or a ballet (and any ballet is therefore a theatrical production, whether or not it is also a dramatic production). But see section 1217FB. (2) “Dramatic production” means a production of a play, opera, musical, or other dramatic piece (whether or not involving improvisation) in relation to which the following conditions are met— (a) the primary focus of the play, opera, musical or dramatic piece is the depiction of a story, or a number of related or unrelated stories, through the playing of roles by performers (whether actors, singers, dancers or others), (b) each performance in the proposed run of performances is to be live, (ba) each performance is intended to be given to an audience of not less than five individuals, (bb) it is reasonable to expect that the main purpose of the audience members will be to observe the performance (rather than, for example, to undertake tasks facilitated or accompanied by the performance), and (c) the presentation of live performances is the main object, or one of the main objects, of the company's activities in relation to the production. (3) “Dramatic piece” may ... include, for example, a show that is to be performed by a circus. (3A) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4) For the purposes of this section a performance is “live” if it is to an audience before whom the performers are actually present.

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.
