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

297 Trading credits and debits to be brought into account under Part 3

(1) This section applies so far as in any accounting period a company is a party to a loan relationship for the purposes of a trade it carries on. (2) The credits in respect of the relationship for the period are treated as receipts of the trade which are to be brought into account in calculating its profits for that period. (3) The debits in respect of the relationship for the period are treated as expenses of the trade which are deductible in calculating those profits. (4) So far as subsection (3) provides for any amount to be deductible, it has effect despite anything in— (a) section 53 (capital expenditure), (b) section 54 (expenses not wholly and exclusively for trade and unconnected losses), or (c) section 59 (patent royalties). (5) This section is subject to— (a) section 330 (debits in respect of pre-trading expenditure), (b) section 482(1) (under which credits or debits to be brought into account under Chapter 2 of Part 6 (relevant non-lending relationships) are treated as non-trading credits or debits), and (c) sections 286(5) and 287(5) of CTA 2010 (under which some credits and debits affecting ring-fence profits from petroleum extraction activities are treated as non-trading credits and debits).

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.
