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

167 Sale basis of valuation: election by connected persons

(1) The value of trading stock is determined in accordance with this section if— (a) it is sold to a person who carries on, or intends to carry on, a trade, profession or vocation in the United Kingdom and 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, (b) the buyer is connected with the seller, and (c) an election is made under this section. (2) The parties to the sale may make an election under this section if the value of the stock determined under section 166 exceeds both— (a) its acquisition value, and (b) the amount in fact realised on the sale. (3) If an election is made, the value is taken to be— (a) its acquisition value, or (b) if greater, the amount in fact realised on the sale. (4) An election under this section must be made by both parties not later than two years after the end of the accounting period in which the cessation occurred. (5) The “acquisition value” of trading stock means the amount which would have been deductible as representing its acquisition value, in calculating the profits of the trade, on the following assumptions— (a) that the stock had been sold in the course of the trade, immediately before the cessation, for a price equal to the value of the stock determined under section 166, and (b) that the period for which those profits were to be calculated began immediately before the sale. (6) If the stock is sold together with other assets, so much of the amount realised on the sale as, on a just and reasonable apportionment, is properly attributable to each asset is treated as the amount realised on the sale of that asset.

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.
