Corporation Tax Act 2009

What to do with it
As published

63 Tenants occupying land for purposes of trade treated as incurring expenses

(1) The tenant under the taxed lease is treated as incurring an expense of a revenue nature in respect of the land subject to the taxed lease for each qualifying day. (2) If there is more than one taxed receipt, this section applies separately in relation to each of them. (3) A day is a “qualifying day”, in relation to a taxed receipt, if it is a day— (a) that falls within the receipt period of the taxed receipt, and (b) on which the tenant occupies the whole or part of the land subject to the taxed lease for the purposes of carrying on a trade. (4) If on the qualifying day the tenant occupies the whole of the land subject to the taxed lease for the purposes of the trade, the amount of the expense for the qualifying day by reference to the taxed receipt is given by the formula— A TRP where— A is the unreduced amount of the taxed receipt, and TRP is the number of days in the receipt period of the taxed receipt. (5) If on the qualifying day the tenant occupies part of the land subject to the taxed lease for the purposes of the trade, the amount of the expense for the qualifying day by reference to the taxed receipt is given by the formula— F × A TRP where— F is the fraction of the land that is so occupied calculated on a just and reasonable basis, and A and TRP have the same meaning as in subsection (4). (5A) No expense is to be determined under this section by reference to the taxed receipt if section 232(4B) or (4C) applies. (6) This section is subject to section 64 (limit on deductions if tenant entitled to mineral extraction allowance).

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.
