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

1227 Accounts not drawn up

(1) If— (a) a company does not draw up accounts, or does not draw them up for a particular period, and (b) as a result, expenses of management are not referable to an accounting period under section 1225 or 1226, take the following steps to determine the accounting period to which they are referable. (2) The steps are— Step 1 Assume that for each accounting period of the company that does not coincide with, or fall within, any period of account there is a period of account that coincides with it. Step 2 If it would be in accordance with UK generally accepted accounting practice to debit the expenses of management, or any part of them, in accounts drawn up by the company for that deemed period of account, assume that they are so debited. Step 3 Making those assumptions, apply section 1225(1).

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.
