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.

583 “Underlying subject matter”

(1) In this Part references to the underlying subject matter of a relevant contract are to be read as follows. (2) The underlying subject matter of an option is— (a) the property which would fall to be delivered if the option were exercised, or (b) if the property which would so fall is a derivative contract, the underlying subject matter of that contract. (3) The underlying subject matter of a future is— (a) the property which, if the future were to run to delivery, would fall to be delivered at the date and price agreed when the contract is made, or (b) if the property which would so fall is a derivative contract, the underlying subject matter of that contract. (4) The underlying subject matter of a contract for differences is— (a) if the contract for differences relates to fluctuations in the value or price of property described in the contract, the property so described, or (b) if an index or factor is designated in the contract for differences, the matter by reference to which the index or factor is determined. (5) The things which may be the subject matter of a contract for differences include— (a) interest rates, (b) weather conditions, and (c) creditworthiness. (6) Interest rates are not the underlying subject matter of a relevant contract if— (a) under the terms of that contract— (i) the date on which a party to that contract becomes subject to a duty to make a payment is a variable date, and (ii) the amount of that payment varies according to the date of payment, and (b) those terms refer to an interest rate only for the purpose of establishing that amount. (7) The underlying subject matter of a relevant contract is not treated as being— (a) land, (b) shares in a company, or (c) rights of a unit holder under a unit trust scheme, just because its underlying subject matter includes income from that kind of property.

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.
