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

479 Relevant non-lending relationships not involving discounts

(1) A company has a relevant non-lending relationship if— (a) the company stands, or has stood, in the position of a creditor or debtor in relation to a money debt, (b) the money debt did not arise from a transaction for the lending of money (and so, because of section 302(1)(b), there is no loan relationship), and (c) the money debt is one of the kinds mentioned in subsection (2). (2) The kinds of debt are— (a) a debt on which interest is payable to or by the company, (b) a debt in relation to which exchange gains or losses arise to the company, ... (c) a debt in relation to which an impairment loss (or credit in respect of the reversal of an impairment loss) or release debit arises to the company in respect of an unpaid (or previously unpaid) business payment, and (d) a debt in relation to which a relevant deduction has been allowed to the company and which is released. (3) In subsection (2)(c) “business payment” means a payment which, if it were paid, would fall to be brought into account for corporation tax purposes as a receipt of a trade, UK property business or overseas property business carried on by the company. (3A) In subsection (2)(d) “relevant deduction” means a deduction allowed in calculating the profits of a trade, UK property business or overseas property business. (4) For the meaning of “money debt” and “interest” in this Chapter, see— (a) section 483 (exchange gains and losses: amounts treated as money debts) and (b) section 484 (provision not at arm's length: meaning of “interest” and “money debt”). (5) For the meaning of “exchange gains or losses”, see section 475. (6) This section is subject to section 485 (exclusion of debts where profits or losses within Part 7 or 8).

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.
