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

158 Trading stock supplied by trader

(1) This section applies if something that— (a) belongs to a company carrying on a trade, but (b) is not trading stock of the trade, becomes trading stock of the trade. (2) In calculating the profits of the trade— (a) the cost of the stock is taken to be the amount which it would have realised if sold in the open market at the time it became trading stock of the trade, and (b) the value of anything in fact given for it is left out of account. (3) The cost is treated as being incurred on the date it became trading stock of the trade.

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.
