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

584 Hybrid derivatives with embedded derivatives

(1) This section applies if— (a) a company is a party to a relevant contract which meets the condition in section 579(1)(b) or (c) (contracts not treated for accounting purposes as derivatives), (b) in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, the company treats the rights and liabilities under the contract as divided between— (i) rights and liabilities under one or more derivatives (“embedded derivatives”), and (ii) the remaining rights and liabilities, and (c) a contract consisting of only those remaining rights and liabilities would be a relevant contract. (2) The company is treated for the purposes of this Part— (a) as a party to a relevant contract whose rights and liabilities consist only of those of the embedded derivative, or (if there is more than one embedded derivative) as a party to relevant contracts each of whose rights and liabilities consist only of those of one of the embedded derivatives, and (b) as a party to a relevant contract whose rights and liabilities are those within subsection (1)(b)(ii). (3) Each relevant contract to which a company is treated as a party under subsection (2) is treated for the purposes of this Part as an option, a future or a contract for differences depending on what the character of a separate contract containing the rights and liabilities of the deemed relevant contract would be. (4) In this Part “hybrid derivative” means a relevant contract within subsection (1)(a). (5) See also— (a) section 592 (embedded derivatives treated as meeting condition in section 591 etc), and (b) section 616 (disapplication of fair value accounting for certain embedded derivatives).

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.
