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

1217SB Use of losses in the completion period

(1) Subsection (2) applies if a loss made in the separate orchestral trade is carried forward under section 45 or 45B of CTA 2010 to the completion period. (2) So much (if any) of the loss as is not attributable to orchestra tax relief (see subsection (4)) may be treated for the purposes of section 37 and Part 5 of CTA 2010 as if it were a loss made in the completion period. (3) If a loss is made in the separate orchestral trade in the completion period, the amount of the loss that may be— (a) deducted from total profits of the same or an earlier period under section 37 of CTA 2010, or (b) surrendered as group relief under Part 5 of that Act, is restricted to the amount (if any) that is not attributable to orchestra tax relief (see subsection (4)). (4) The amount of a loss in any period that is attributable to orchestra tax relief is found by— (a) calculating what the amount of the loss would have been if there had been no additional deduction under Chapter 3 in that or any earlier period, and (b) deducting that amount from the total amount of the loss. (5) This section does not apply to loss surrendered, or treated as carried forward, under section 1217SC (terminal losses).

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.

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.
