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

486 Exclusion of exchange gains and losses in respect of tax debts etc

(1) No exchange gains or losses arise for the purposes of this Chapter if the money debt by reference to which the relevant non-lending relationship exists (“the relevant money debt”) is an amount of tax payable under the law of the United Kingdom. (2) If the relevant money debt is an amount of tax payable under the law of a territory outside the United Kingdom, exchange gains or losses arise for the purposes of this Chapter only so far as a deduction in respect of the tax falls to be made under section 112 of TIOPA 2010 (double taxation relief: deduction for foreign tax where no credit allowable). (3) No exchange gains or losses arise for the purposes of this Chapter if the relevant money debt is an amount which would be deductible apart from— (a) a statutory provision other than section 53 (capital expenditure), or (b) a rule of law. (4) The reference in subsection (3) to an amount being deductible is a reference to its being deductible— (a) as an expense in calculating trading profits, (b) as expenses of management within section 1219 (expenses of management of a company's investment business), or (c) as ordinary BLAGAB management expenses within the meaning of section 77 of FA 2012 (insurance companies carrying on basic life assurance and general annuity business).

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.

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.
