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.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

420 Assumptions where options etc apply

(1) This section applies if— (a) the answer to any question specified in subsection (2)— (i) depends on the exercise of an option by a party to a loan relationship (“A”) or A's associate, or (ii) is otherwise under the control of A or A's associate, and (b) an amortised cost basis of accounting applies for an accounting period. (2) The questions are— (a) whether any amount will become due under the relationship after the period ends, (b) how much will become due under it after the period ends, and (c) when after the end of the period an amount will become due under the relationship. (3) In determining the credits and debits to be brought into account for the accounting period in accordance with an amortised cost basis, the assumption in subsection (4) is to be made. (4) The assumption is that A or A's associate will exercise the power to determine whether and on what date any amount will become due in the way which appears to be the most advantageous to A. (5) That way is to be determined— (a) as at the end of the accounting period, and (b) ignoring taxation.

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.
