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

1218ZAA “Exhibition”

(1) In this Part “exhibition” means a curated public display of an organised collection of objects or works (or of a single object or work) considered to be of scientific, historic, artistic or cultural interest (but see subsections (2) to (3A)). (2) ... A display is not an exhibition if— (a) it is organised in connection with a competition of any kind, (b) its main purpose, or one of its main purposes, is to sell anything displayed or to advertise or promote any goods or services, (c) it includes a live performance by any person, (d) anything displayed is for sale, or (e) anything displayed is alive. (3) Subsection (2) does not prevent a display being an exhibition if it includes a live performance by a person which is merely incidental to, or forms a merely incidental part of, the collection displayed. (3A) A display of an object or work is not an exhibition to the extent that the public display of the object or work is subordinate to the use of the object or work (or of anything of which it forms part) for another purpose. (4) A display is “public” if the general public is admitted to it, whether or not the public is charged for admission. (4A) “Admitted” means admitted in person to the venue where the objects or works are displayed. (5) A display does not fall outside subsection (4) just because visitors other than the general public are admitted to it for a single session or a small number of sessions.

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.
