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.

As published

458 Claim to carry forward deficit to later accounting periods

(1) The company may make a claim for so much of the amount carried forward from the deficit period as is specified in the claim to be excepted from being set off against non-trading profits of the first accounting period after the deficit period (“the first later period”). (2) Any such claim must be made within the period of 2 years after the end of the first later period. (3) Subsection (4) applies if any amount is carried forward from the deficit period under section 457(1) which— (a) cannot be set off under section 457(3) against non-trading profits of the first later period, or (b) is the subject of a claim under subsection (1). (4) That amount is treated for the purposes of this Part as if it were— (a) an amount of non-trading deficit from the company's loan relationships for the first later period, and (b) an amount which falls to be carried forward and set against non-trading profits of later accounting periods under section 457(1). (5) Accordingly, section 457 and this section apply as if the first later period were the deficit period.

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.
