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

38 Commercial occupation of land other than woodlands

(1) The commercial occupation of land in the United Kingdom is treated for corporation tax purposes as the carrying on of a trade or part of a trade.

(3) This section does not apply— (a) to farming or market gardening (which is dealt with by section 36), (b) if the land is being prepared for forestry purposes, (c) if the land comprises woodlands (which is dealt with by section 37), or (d) to the occupation by an insurance company of land which is an asset held by the company for the purposes of its long-term business.

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.
