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

362A Corporate rescue: debt released shortly after connection arises

(1) This section applies if— (a) the case is one in which section 362 would otherwise apply, (b) within 60 days after C and D become connected, C releases D's liability to pay an amount under the loan relationship, and (c) the corporate rescue conditions are met. (2) If the release is of the whole debt, section 362 does not apply by reason of C and D becoming connected. (3) If the release is of part of the debt, the amount that C is treated by section 362 as having released when it became connected with D is reduced (but not below nil) by the amount actually released. (4) The corporate rescue conditions are— (a) that C and D became connected as a result of an arm's length transaction, and (b) that immediately before C and D became connected it was reasonable to assume that, without the connection and any arrangements of which the connection forms part, there would be a material risk that at some time within the next 12 months D would have been unable to pay its debts. (5) For the purposes of subsection (4)(b), a company is unable to pay its debts if— (a) it is unable to pay its debts as they fall due, or (b) the value of the company's assets is less than the amount of its liabilities, taking into account its contingent and prospective liabilities.

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.
