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

590 Disregard of subordinate or small value underlying subject matter

(1) This section applies in relation to a relevant contract if its underlying subject matter consists only of— (a) excluded property, and (b) other underlying subject matter which is— (i) subordinate in relation to any of the excluded property, or (ii) of small value in comparison with the value of the underlying subject matter as a whole. (2) The underlying subject matter of the contract is treated for the purposes of this Part as if it consisted wholly of excluded property. (3) For the purposes of this section, whether part of the underlying subject matter of a relevant contract of a company is subordinate or of small value is to be determined by reference to the time when the company enters into or acquires the contract. (4) In this section “excluded property” has the same meaning as in section 589.

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.
