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

521E Unallowable purpose

(1) For the purposes of section 521C, the investing company holds the share for an unallowable purpose if the main purpose, or one of the main purposes for which the company holds the share is to obtain a relevant tax advantage. (2) But the investing company may elect that this Chapter is to apply in relation to the share even though it would otherwise be prevented from applying by subsection (1)(f) of that section. (3) An election under subsection (2)— (a) must be made no later than the time when the investing company first holds the share or, if later, when the share begins to produce a return for the investing company, and (b) is irrevocable. (4) In this section “ obtain a relevant tax advantage ” means secure that the return produced by the share (or any part of it) is received in a way that means that its treatment for corporation tax purpose is more advantageous to the investing company than it would be if it were— (a) charged to corporation tax as income of the investing company, or (b) brought into account as income of the investing company for corporation tax purposes, at the time when amounts would be brought into account in relation to the return in accordance with section 521B.

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.
