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

1307 Apportionment etc of miscellaneous profits and losses to accounting period

(1) This section applies if— (a) income is chargeable to corporation tax under or by virtue of any provision to which section 1173 of CTA 2010 applies, and (b) any period for which accounts are drawn up (a “period of account”) does not coincide with an accounting period. (2) For this purpose the reference to any provision to which section 1173 of CTA 2010 applies is to be read as if subsection (3) of that section were omitted (exclusion of Chapter 8 of Part 10 so far as relating to income which arises from a source outside the United Kingdom). (3) Any of the following steps may be taken if they are necessary in order to arrive at the profits or losses of the accounting period— (a) apportioning the profits or losses of a period of account to the parts of that period falling in different accounting periods, and (b) adding the profits or losses of a period of account (or part of a period) to profits or losses of other periods of account (or parts). (4) The steps must be taken by reference to the number of days in the periods concerned.

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.
