595 General principles about the bringing into account of credits and debits

(1) This Part operates by reference to the accounts of companies and amounts recognised for accounting purposes in those accounts. (2) The general rule is that the amounts to be brought into account by a company as credits or debits for any period for the purposes of this Part in respect of the matters mentioned in section 594A(1) are those which are recognised in determining the company's profit or loss for the period in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice ... . (2A) Subsections (2B) and (2C) apply if an accounting period of a company does not coincide with one or more of its periods of account. (2B) The amounts referred to in subsection (2) are to be determined by apportionment in accordance with section 1172 of CTA 2010 (time basis). (2C) But if it appears that apportionment in accordance with that section would work unreasonably or unjustly for an accounting period, subsection (2) is to be read as referring to amounts that would have been recognised in determining the company's profit or loss for that period in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice if accounts had been drawn up for that period.

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.
