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

196 Allowable deductions

(1) In calculating the amount on which tax is charged under this Chapter, deductions are allowed in accordance with— (a) this section, and (b) section 197, from the amount which would otherwise be chargeable to tax under this Chapter. (2) A deduction is allowed for a loss, expense or debit which, if the person carrying on the trade had not permanently ceased to do so— (a) would have been deducted in calculating the profits of the trade for corporation or income tax purposes, or (b) would have been deducted from or set off against the profits of the trade for corporation or income tax purposes, but no deduction is allowed if the loss, expense or debit arises directly or indirectly from the cessation itself. (3) No deduction for an amount is allowed under this section if the amount has been allowed under any other provision of the Tax Acts.

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.
