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

466 Companies connected for an accounting period

(1) This section and sections 467 to 471 have effect for the purposes of any provisions of this Part which apply this section (but this does not affect the application of section 1316(1) (meaning of “connected” persons) for other purposes of this Part). (2) There is a connection between a company (“A”) and another company (“B”) for an accounting period if there is a time in the period when— (a) A controls B, (b) B controls A, or (c) A and B are both controlled by the same person. (3) But A and B are not taken to be controlled by the same person just because they have been under the control of— (a) the Crown, (b) a Minister of the Crown, (c) a government department, (d) a Northern Ireland department, (e) a foreign sovereign power, or (f) an international organisation. (4) Subsection (2) is subject to section 468 (connection between companies to be ignored in some circumstances).

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.
