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

122 Herd basis elections

(1) A herd basis election must specify the class of production herd to which it relates. (2) A herd basis election must be made— (a) not later than two years after the end of the first relevant accounting period (if the farmer is not a firm), or (b) on or before the first anniversary of the normal self-assessment filing date for the tax year in which the first relevant period of account ends (if the farmer is a firm). (3) For this purpose— (a) “the first relevant accounting period” means the first accounting period in which the farmer making the election keeps a production herd of the class to which the election relates, and (b) “the first relevant period of account” means the first period of account in which the firm making the election keeps a production herd of the class to which the election relates (but see subsection (8)). (4) A herd basis election cannot relate to more than one class of production herd, but separate elections may be made for different classes. (5) A herd basis election is irrevocable. (6) A herd basis election has effect in relation to all production herds of the class to which it relates, including any which the farmer— (a) has ceased to keep before making the election, or (b) first keeps after making the election. (7) A herd basis election has effect— (a) for every accounting period in which the farmer carries on the trade and keeps a production herd of the class to which the election relates (if the farmer is not a firm), or (b) for every period of account in which the farmer carries on the trade and keeps a production herd of the class to which the election relates (if the farmer is a firm). (8) If the farmer is a firm and there is a change in the persons who are partners in the firm— (a) any herd basis election made by the old firm ceases to have effect, and (b) in relation to the new firm, “the first relevant period of account” means the first period of account in which the new firm keeps a production herd of the class to which the election relates.

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.
