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

164 Basis of valuation of trading stock

(1) The value of trading stock belonging to the trade at the time of the cessation is determined as follows. (2) If the stock is sold to a person who— (a) carries on, or intends to carry on, a trade, profession or vocation in the United Kingdom, and (b) is entitled to deduct the cost of the stock as an expense in calculating the profits of that trade, profession or vocation for corporation or income tax purposes, the value is determined in accordance with section 165 (sale to unconnected person), 166 (sale to connected person) or 167 (election by connected persons). (3) But if section 125 (preventing abuse of the herd basis rules) applies— (a) the value is not determined in accordance with any of those sections, and (b) the value is instead taken to be that given by section 125 (the price which the animals transferred would have fetched if sold in the open market at the time of the sale). (4) In any other case, the value is taken to be the amount which the stock would have realised if sold in the open market at the time of the cessation.

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.
