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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

1225 Accounts conforming with GAAP

(1) If— (a) expenses of management are debited in accounts drawn up by a company for a period of account, (b) the treatment of those expenses in those accounts is in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, and (c) the period of account coincides with an accounting period, the expenses of management are referable to that accounting period. (2) If— (a) expenses of management are debited in accounts drawn up by a company for a period of account, and (b) the treatment of those expenses in those accounts is in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, but (c) the period of account does not coincide with an accounting period, the expenses of management are apportioned between any accounting periods that fall within the period of account (and are referable to accounting periods so far as they are apportioned to them). (3) An apportionment under subsection (2) must be made in accordance with section 1172 of CTA 2010 (time basis) or, if it appears that that method would work unreasonably or unjustly, on a just and reasonable basis.

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.
