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.

As published

149B Allowable deductions: niches

(1) This section sets out the deductions that are allowed in respect of a nicheif proceeds from the sale of the niche are brought into account as a receipt in calculating the profits of the trade. (2) A deduction is allowed for two-thirds of the costs incurred (by the trader or a predecessor) in the formation of the niche. (3) Formation of the lining and of any tablet associated with the niche is taken to be part of the formation of the niche. (4) If the niche is in a building that is used wholly or mainly for the purpose of providing niches, a further deduction is allowed for two-thirds of the associated building costs. (5) In relation to a niche in a building— (a) “the associated building costs” is the relevant proportion of the costs of the building, and (b) “the relevant proportion” is the proportion that the area occupied by the niche bears to the area of the building as a whole or, if the proportion cannot reasonably be calculated on that basis, such proportion as may be calculated 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.
