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.

What to do with it
As published

465A Power to make regulations where accounting standards change

(1) The Treasury may by regulations make provision for cases where, in consequence of a change in accounting standards, there is a relevant accounting change. (2) “Change in accounting standards” means the issue, revocation, amendment or recognition of, or withdrawal of recognition from, an accounting standard by an accounting body. (3) “Relevant accounting change” means a change in the way in which a company is permitted or required, for accounting purposes, to recognise amounts which— (a) are brought into account by the company as credits or debits for any period for the purposes of this Part, or (b) would be so brought into account but for any provision made by or under this Part. (4) Regulations under subsection (1) may amend this Part (apart from this section). (5) Regulations under subsection (1) may— (a) make different provision for different cases, (b) make incidental, supplemental, consequential and transitional provision and savings, and (c) make provision subject to an election or other specified circumstances. (6) Regulations making consequential provision by virtue of subsection (5)(b) may, in particular, include provision amending a provision of the Corporation Tax Acts. (7) Regulations under subsection (1) may apply to a pre-commencement period if they make provision in relation to a relevant accounting change which may or must be adopted, for accounting purposes, for a period of account, or part of a period of account, which coincides with that pre-commencement period. (8) In this section— “accounting body” means the International Accounting Standards Board or the Accounting Standards Board, or a successor body to either of those Boards; “accounting standard” includes any statement of practice, guidance or other similar document; “pre-commencement period”, in relation to regulations, means an accounting period, or part of an accounting period, which begins before the regulations are made.

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.
