As published

521B Application of Part 5 to certain shares as rights under creditor relationship

(1) This section applies in relation to the times in a company's accounting period when— (a) the company holds a share in another company, and (b) section 521C (shares accounted for as liabilities) applies to the share. (2) Part 5 (and the other provisions of the Corporation Tax Acts) apply as if at those times— (a) the share were rights under a creditor relationship of the investing company, and (b) any distribution in respect of the share were not a distribution (and accordingly is within Part 5). (3) Where Part 5 applies in relation to the investing company in accordance with subsection (2) it so applies as if the issuing company stood in the position of debtor as respects the debt in question. (4) No debits are to be brought into account by the investing company as respects the share but this does not affect debits to be brought into account in respect of exchange gains or losses. (5) Subsection (2)(b) does not affect the operation of Part 1 of Schedule 25 of ICTA (controlled foreign companies: acceptable distribution policy) (including as it continues to have effect in accordance with paragraph 8(1) of Schedule 16 to FA 2009). (6) In this Chapter references to “the share” are to the share mentioned in subsection (1).

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.
