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

1242 Additional payments

(1) This section applies if the employer's business, or part of it, ceases (permanently) to be carried on and the employer makes a payment to the employee in addition to— (a) the redundancy payment, or (b) if an approved contractual payment is made, the amount that would have been due if a redundancy payment had been payable. (2) If— (a) the additional payment would not otherwise be deductible under section 1219, but (b) that is only because the business, or the part of the business, has ceased to be carried on, the additional payment is deductible under section 1219 as expenses of management. (3) The deduction under this section is limited to 3 times the amount of— (a) the redundancy payment, or (b) if an approved contractual payment is made, the amount that would have been due if a redundancy payment had been payable. (4) If the payment is referable to an accounting period beginning after the business or the part of the business has ceased to be carried on, it is treated as referable to the last accounting period in which the business, or the part concerned, was carried on.

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.
