302 “Loan relationship”, “creditor relationship”, “debtor relationship”

(1) For the purposes of the Corporation Tax Acts a company has a loan relationship if— (a) the company stands in the position of a creditor or debtor as respects any money debt (whether by reference to a security or otherwise), and (b) the debt arises from a transaction for the lending of money. (2) References to a loan relationship and to a company being a party to a loan relationship are to be read accordingly. (3) For cases where this Part applies as if a relationship were a loan relationship despite the money debt not arising from a transaction for the lending of money see Chapter 2 of Part 6 (relevant non-lending relationships).

(5) In this Part “creditor relationship”, in relation to a company, means any loan relationship of the company where it stands in the position of a creditor as respects the debt in question. (6) In this Part “debtor relationship”, in relation to a company, means any loan relationship of the company where it stands in the position of a debtor as respects the debt in question.

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.
